Well, I see your point but I've had the opposite happen. A snapped blade once sent a piece of metal flying right past my head, safety glasses or not. That wasn't a helpful warning, it was pure danger. Sometimes a broken tool just means you're now holding a sharp piece of junk. It's not always a sign to check your work, sometimes it's just a sign you need a better tool.

Sounds a bit over the top to me... most shops just need parts made right and on time. Understanding code is one thing, but making it a hard rule seems like gatekeeping. The real world usually cares more about the final product than how you got there.

Tell me about it, @david_palmer. I used to do some freelance work and the clients who nickel and dimed the project fee were always the same ones who asked for endless tiny revisions that weren't in the deal. It's like they think the discount gives them a free pass on everything else. I've seen it with friends too, haggling hard at a flea market then getting mad the seller won't throw in a free repair.

Yeah @derek_ross, forcing a slower pace just makes me forget stuff. I keep a simple note on my phone for big shows, just a line or two after each episode. Lets me binge but still catch the details.

My best ideas always hit me after 8pm though.
