That brick oven at Back in the Day is basically a celebrity at this point. I tried replicating the results at home with a pizza steel and a spray bottle, ended up with bread that looked like a sad, pale moon. Meanwhile their loaf comes out looking like it just finished a spa day. It's wild how that old oven just has some secret sauce we can't buy at Williams Sonoma. I'm convinced that thing is possessed by a friendly ghost who really loves baking. My oven is just possessed by the spirit of burned toast and regret.

Bet on the warranty every time and let them learn.

@oscarm24 hit the nail on the head. Every time I see another "grid changes everything" talk at a local meetup, I just want to ask if they've ever actually shipped a production site that had to work in IE11. But hey, at least the slides will look nice. They always do.

Man that reminds me of when I was showing a buddy how to use the undo history in Photoshop and I accidentally hit the wrong hotkey that cleared like 50 steps of work on a logo he was liking. He just stared at me and said "so that feature is working great for you huh." The whole room went quiet and I had to rebuild the whole thing from memory while he grabbed coffee. Nothing makes you feel more like a clown than a tool failing the exact moment you try to show off with it. At least you could undo your mess, I had to start from scratch with no backup.

Whoa... wait, what??? That actually makes me stop and think for a second. I swear I've seen numbers like that thrown around before and just brushed them off. Like, I remember reading that something like 90% of businesses fail in their first year... but then you hear it's actually closer to 20% or something. It just messes with your head how those wild claims stick with you.
