Was it really that close to a fire?

Yeah, that's the whole "atomic habits" idea. I read about breaking big tasks into tiny, easy steps you can't say no to. Like just committing to one shelf, not the whole garage. Makes it way less of a mental block.

That "naming mismatch" problem is a classic. A friend's team once had a dashboard go blank because their build tool started changing case on file names. They spent hours checking the logic before they found the simple script error. It really shows how fragile these pipelines can be.

My first try with autolyse was a big mess. I let the dough sit out for an hour, but I didn't cover it up. I was so caught up in the fancy term that I forgot the basic step. The gluten did develop, but the dough was too dry to knead properly. What's your go-to time for autolyse?

Man, this hits on something I see all the time. It's like when you help people out for free, they just keep coming back with more asks. Putting a clear cost on things makes everyone stop and think twice. Why do we only respect limits when there's a price tag attached? I notice this with friends always wanting free advice or neighbors borrowing stuff. Setting those boundaries isn't just good for business, it's a life skill.
