I got Nightwatch to work on our Vapor setup. It will require a separate EC2 that’s on the same network. Then just set the NIGHTATCH_INGEST_URI env to the EC2 private IP, and make the agent listen on the same IP. 😎

Confidence is a product of seeing yourself produce output.

False confidence - you accomplished what others expected from you.

True confidence - you accomplished what you said you were going to do, being a man of your word, a man of integrity.

We must ship, they say.
Scratch your own itch, they say.
You can just do things, they say.
Build your own software, they say.

So I did, I scratched, I built, and I shipped.
It's fun and satisfying. 👇🏼
