That scrap piece trick is solid for sure. Makes me wonder if we overcomplicate things trying to be too perfect. Sometimes the best tool is just a piece of junk wood clamped in place. It's like the cut either fits or it doesn't, and a physical block doesn't lie. All the math in the world won't help if your saw is off by half a degree that day.

Our support line got 47 calls about missing order confirmations in those four hours. Each one of those calls represents a real person who had their time wasted and started to doubt our service.

Calling it a quiet morning really misses the impact on the customers who were trying to reach us.
