My grandma's recipe card box showed me how much I've changed

Found a shoebox of her handwritten cards when cleaning out the closet last Sunday. She wrote 'add a pinch of salt' on everything, even the cookie recipe. I used to think that was lazy advice, but after 12 years of baking sourdough and testing hydration levels, I finally get it. Its not about the exact amount, its about learning to feel when something needs adjusting. Her cards are all stained and dogeared from use, mines are mostly notes on my phone now. Does anyone else have an older relatives method that only made sense after you did the hobby for a long time?
