I fucked up my MySQL installation...

AGAIN!!

Whenever I really feel like programming in my free time (which became really rare), I fuck something up and spend half of the night fixing it. Once it’s fixed I’m done, don’t wanna do anything anymore..

I should just start programming and set up the infrastructure afterwards.. at least I would get to do some programming then..

    Coming just from my experience, not trying to advise or anything. I've tried some side projects. I've failed. Then I thought maybe something else. So now I have a hobby (mostly rave parties and drugs) and i my work I can express my programming creativeness. Is it better? No? Yes? Hoe the fuck should I know?

    Docker makes stuff like this really easy.
    Or something like AWS where it's a hosted service

    If you don't want to spend $$ on out-of-the-box solutions you can also back up your machine once you have it all set up. Keep the code itself in git with a remote (Github/bitbucket etc), and then if something goes wonky, revert to the backup and pull your new code back down.

    @dan-pud this.

    Docker is perfect for something like this. Figure out the configuration once or download someone else's, and you're good to go.

    why not script the un fuck up steps? become devops?

    I also would recommend using docker. One command and its up. But also one command and its down. It can be a curse, but that's why you read the manual first, right?

    What do you mean when you say "Fucked up my MySQL installation"?

    I never managed to do that in such a way, that wouldn't be easily solvable after just a bit of googling (Note: Talking about Linux setup, no idea about platforms)
