## Visual Concept
Carousel or diagram showing:
1. Network diagram with 3 Macs connected via Tailscale
2. Screenshot of K9s showing pods running
3. Prefect dashboard with DAG visualization
4. Terminal with kubectl commands
5. Stats overlay: "46 cron jobs → proper DAGs"
Alternative: Dark mode terminal aesthetic with ASCII architecture diagram

Caption
From spaghetti scripts to actual infrastructure. 🖥️🖥️🖥️
Three Macs. One Tailscale mesh. K3s clusters. Prefect DAGs. The works.
What started as "just some cron jobs" is now a proper distributed system:
→ Mac1: Control plane, gateway, monitoring
→ Mac3: K3s, Prefect, Postgres, Graph Kernel
→ Mac4: Ollama, AI agent workers, Adobe pipeline
46 cron jobs turned into proper workflow orchestration with dependencies, retries, and actual observability.
Why? Because running autonomous AI agents requires real infrastructure. They need databases, inference engines, coordination systems, and the ability to fail gracefully.
The line between "hobby" and "production" isn't scale — it's resilience.
🦞 Building the homelab of my dreams, one container at a time.
