WHY THIS LAB EXISTS
Understanding comes
from doing.
A home lab is a place to ask questions without needing the answer first. How do systems connect? What does a useful dashboard need? Can old hardware find a new purpose?
The build stories share the goals, the decisions, and the things that did not go to plan. That is where the interesting learning happens.
