## I started building bots because I was scared of falling behind on AI. Now I run 6 of them 24/7 on a Mac Mini.

It started with FOMO. Everyone around me was talking about using AI tools. I felt like if I didn't figure this out fast, I'd be left behind. So I thought — let me just try building something. That "something" turned out to be 6 automated bots running 24/7 on a Mac Mini M1 server. Here's what actually happened along the way. The first real mistake I was building a crypto alert bot for Upbit. Lost a full day's worth of data because I didn't handle API errors properly. The external API changed its response format without notice — my bot silently died. Didn't notice until the next day. I've since rewritten that single bot 48 times. v48 is running now. What "running 24/7" actually means Spoiler: it doesn't just run by itself. I discovered Supervisor — a process manager that keeps bots alive with auto-restart. Before this, bots would crash and stay dead silently. [program:upbit_bot] command = python3 /Users/m1dongeun/bot_upbit/upbit_v48.py autostart = true autorestart = true stderr_logfile =
