inOur design system went from a PDF to a live site and it changed everything
Yeah, that bit about it going from a dusty rulebook to a tool people open every day hits home. A friend at another company had the same thing with their brand guidelines, which were just a huge PowerPoint file. They moved it all into Notion where you could actually click on things and copy colors, and suddenly the marketing team stopped making up their own logos. It's crazy how much just being able to search and copy a code snippet changes how people work. What was the hardest part of moving your system over?

inPro tip: A hotel job in Boise taught me to check the studs before anything else
Yeah bosses like that are why I went solo. green.mason, my old foreman would skip checking the subfloor and we'd get callbacks every time. Dude thought speed was everything, but fixing his rushed jobs took way longer. Some people never learn that checking actually saves time.

inEveryone says to use a moisture meter before painting, but I just painted my bathroom without one
Yeah, totally get that. Did my kid's room last fall, walls felt dry. Six months later, had a weird bubble behind the dresser where the outside wall was. @robinmason is right, it's that one sneaky spot. Had to scrape and redo a whole corner.
