The "Moth" Incident: When Over-Engineering Fails
Episode notes
In the quiet before the house wakes up, Sean Glenn (Senior Splunk Engineer and micro-homesteader) breaks down a 3:00 AM system failure. From a $300 "predator alert" triggered by a single moth to the recurring "Actually..." bug in his marriage, this episode explores the limits of logic in a neurodivergent household. We're looking at why "Version 2.0" of ourselves requires better empathy, not just better scripts.
