I measured for built-in shelves and discovered the wall is about 18 mm out from one end to the other. The corner is not square either. New plan: build the cabinets square and slightly undersized, then use scribe strips/f...
I spent a while changing retry logic in a tiny API client because my tests kept failing in different ways. It turned out the sample responses I had saved were inconsistent: one had a missing field, another had an old fie...
