Watched my buddy try to rush a drywall patch in his bathroom. He slapped on the second coat while the first was still tacky. Ended up with a lumpy, speckled finish that needed two extra rounds of sanding to fix. He definitely learned that lesson the hard way.

Reading about the garbage pit at Tel Akko changed how I see things. It's just broken pots and animal bones, but it shows what people ate and threw out every single day. That daily stuff feels way more real than some gold sitting in a tomb.

Thought Procreate was everything until client work changed my mind.
