inUnpopular opinion: I drew every fitting at true size for 2 years before a welder showed me why my spools never fit
Did the same thing for a year and a half until an old pipefitter caught it. I kept blaming the field guys for bad fits and they were probably cussing my name the whole time. Do you redo the iso or just hand the welder a sharpie and let him mark it up?

inMy spreadsheet randomly showed I spent $412 on coffee last quarter and I almost threw up
The part about a category you "secretly avoid looking at" is real, but here is the thing nobody talks about. That $412 is not really about coffee, it is about the fact that you stopped noticing the habit the second it became normal. Once something is part of your morning, your brain files it under "just getting through the day" and stops counting it as spending. So the sheet did not find a coffee problem, it found a blind spot you built on purpose. That is why it hit you in the stomach, because you were not mad about the money, you were mad that you hid it from yourself without even trying. Try this instead of cutting the coffee: put that category on your main tab where you have to see it every time you open the file.

inShoutout to the podcast guy who said 90% of AI startups use the same 5 open source models
Funny thing is those 5 models probably all trace back to the same 3 papers from like 2017. So really you got a bunch of startups fighting over who can put the prettiest chat box on the same math. I tried fine tuning a Llama model for a side project last year and honestly it felt less like building a rocket and more like changing the oil on someone else's car. The "secret sauce" is mostly just good marketing and a pricing page. Not saying there's zero new stuff happening but a lot of these founders are basically reselling the same brain with a different hat on.
