Absolute fucking disaster

Well, I'm stuck again.

I cannot get Next.js to handle webhooks from stripe. The whole "validate that it's a real webhook from stripe" part is just impossibly difficult. Apparently it works for everbody else on the internet, but not stupid fucking me.

Maybe I will get lucky and someone on here will see my post and take pity on me. I think I would have equal luck going to the closest street corner and screaming "STRIPE WEBHOOKS" at every passing car.

I'm losing my mind. I'm a month behind where I thought I would be launching my project. Now again, I'm faced with a "do I rip it out and redo everything" again inflection point.

I'm starting to think I just can't finish anything and I'm just a perpetual failure who will fuck up everything he ever touches.
