People get way too worked up about spoilers sometimes. Brookeb55 has a point that knowing what happens can actually make you notice more details when you watch. It's just a story, not your bank account getting hacked. Maybe the real surprise is that a story can still be good even if you know the ending. Seems like you figured that out too.

That point about tile and shelving is good, but a level isn't always the best swap for a string line. For example, on longer runs, a level can drift if the floor isn't flat (which it often isn't). With tile, you need a line that goes all the way, and a level's short length might let errors build up. For shelving, if the wall is out of plumb, using just a level could give you crooked shelves. It's a clever hack for small jobs, but for anything bigger than a few feet, a real string line is way more reliable.

Messing up a pour is the worst. Last summer, I tried to fix a patio slab with a dry trowel and it looked like a dog's breakfast. The whole thing set up with these weird ridges and I had to grind it down for hours. My neighbor still jokes about my 'textured' concrete. Now I just wait for the right time even if it means working late.

Remember when my GPS totally lost it because I took a dirt road shortcut. The reroute screen looked so mad.

Used to love coworking spots, but this post totally changed my mind. Gonzalez.iris is right about that library silence being the real deal.
