Showerthought: I see a lot of new coders skip the basic error messages.

Oh yeah, "the real key" right? More like the real slap in the face when you waste 20 minutes looking at the wrong line. I swear my brain treats line numbers like those captcha boxes you just blindly click through. You'd think after the hundredth time of staring at line 47 when the actual error is on line 48, I'd learn. Nope. Still scroll right past it like it's invisible. Maybe we need a browser extension that flashes a warning every time we skip a line number. At this point I'm convinced our brains have a built-in "ignore line numbers" filter that only kicks in during debugging.

I was dead wrong about using a coal forge for 8 years straight

Whoa wait, less cleanup? I mean I get that induction is easier to wipe down, but have you ever had to scrub a burnt sugar spill off a glass cooktop? That stuff sticks like glue and then you're scared to use the razor blade because you might scratch it. Gas all the way, you can just lift the grates and toss them in the dishwasher. Do you really think induction is that much easier to clean than that?

Found a free wood source at a local dumpster behind a cabinet shop

Oh, that's a great find! I actually read a blog post last month about a guy who built an entire shed using scrap wood from a cabinet shop. Said he saved hundreds of dollars on lumber.

Appreciation post: A retired baker told me to stop obsessing over my pricing spreadsheet

Huh, maybe he meant you're wearing down your own margins?
