A Tip of the Cap to Contractors Doing Their Own Backend Setup

Shout out to every contractor who, instead of being out in the field, is sitting inside trying to connect a domain to an email address, link up social profiles, and build out all the technical backend stuff most people never see. That's real time — hours that could've gone toward billable work or just living life.

Figuring out how to connect a TXT record to your DNS provider, verifying a DKIM record, all that behind-the-scenes setup — it's not glamorous, and it's not what most people picture when they think "contractor." But it's necessary, and it takes real effort to sit down and work through it. Tip of the cap to everyone putting in that kind of unseen work to get their business set up right.
