Ten Years Ago, I Was Writing About Ecommerce Apps
A decade ago, I was folding t-shirts. Not metaphorically. Literally folding t-shirts (hundreds of them) in the back office of Stupid Cancer, figuring out how to run an online store in real time and apparently talking about it enough that BigCommerce invited me to write for their blog.

What actually holds up over time?
What quietly breaks?
What needs a human, and what really just needs a system?
That framing ended up shaping more of my thinking than any single project.
