I spent 17 years building gaming platforms. Every morning I still fought my local dev environment

I've been building gaming startups since 2007. Shipped over 8000 games across four companies. Built infrastructure that handled millions of users. And every single morning, I opened 6 terminal tabs (when lucky), typed the same start commands, forgot which port was which, got "address already in use" because yesterday's processes didn't die, and spent 10 minutes unfucking my setup before writing a single line of code. The breaking point Last month I needed to work on three projects simultaneously. WAM's API and frontend, the backend, ai endpoints and testing tools.
