Remember when marketing a firewall was just about the throughput numbers?

Ugh, tell me about it. Feels like every app update now is just slapping an "AI" label on the same old junk. They act like it's magic, but it's just a new way to hide the same broken stuff. Makes me not trust any of it anymore.

I hit 500 saves on a mood board I made for a cafe project

What did you find was the biggest thing people asked about? When my sourdough starter guide blew up, I got totally swamped with questions on the feeding schedule (like, a lot of people overthink it).

Spent 3 hours on a simple coax run in an old Baltimore rowhouse

Flexible glow rods are a lifesaver until they get stuck in a tight corner. I had a job where the only way through was a tiny gap behind some built-in shelves.

Some days the walls just win, no matter what tools you bring.
