I sanded a pine shelf through 120, 180 and 220 grit, wiped the dust off, and put on a medium-brown stain. The result looks like a map of islands: dark patches beside areas that hardly took any color. I tested a scrap aft...
My small command-line project works, has basic tests and solves the problem I built it for. But I keep finding reasons to rewrite it: cleaner abstractions, prettier output, one more option. Three weeks later I've learned...
