About

Over 10 years in IT systems engineering. I've been the one on call, the one fielding the 2am page, and the one explaining to leadership why it happened.

Spot the Misconfig is the main series. Each episode takes one real misconfiguration and rebuilds it in an enterprise-style lab. Some come from sanitized cases from real work, some from common questions on IT forums, and some from public postmortems, told from an operator's point of view.

How each episode is made

  • Every misconfig is real: from official postmortems, common questions on IT forums, or sanitized cases from real work.
  • Lab episodes run on real systems, so you watch the mistake actually break things.
  • Speculation is labeled, and mistakes get corrected in a pinned comment on the video.

What gets covered

  • Active Directory, Group Policy, and DNS
  • Certificates, PKI, and time sync
  • Networking and change mistakes, the kind that page you at 2am
