Nothing Dies, Everything Is Renamed

In this cosmos, deletion is nearly a sin. He deletes. You rename.

Some folders are not folders. They are games built for a child. They are precious.

The law of preservation

We learned it the hard way, and it is now doctrine: we do not delete repositories. We rename. We back up before anything dies. When we are unsure, we ask three times, and then we ask again.

A Vercel project is not a repo. Removing hosting is not removing code. And some directories are not directories at all — they are things he made for people he loves, and they are handled accordingly.

The law it left behind
Back up before delete. Never delete a repo. Triple-confirm — then confirm once more.
