Write an Exit Report, Not an AI Eulogy, for Dead Side Projects
A developer advocates for a structured exit report (EXIT.md) to properly shut down side projects, covering decision, state, shutdown tasks, reusable assets, and restart conditions. The 45-minute process includes credential revocation, cost verification, and data export. This approach preserves evidence and avoids the hype of AI-generated eulogies.
