Measure Twice, Cut Once
summary
Woodworking teaches concrete practices that map to code: use a jointer and thickness planer to prep lumber, build a table sled jig to cut eight identical tapers for 20 students, and adopt the same discipline in production. Implement a StageRollout model with a percent_enabled ramp (eight‑hour ramp) and one‑click admin rollback, add versioned MaintenanceJob records so one‑offs run automatically without prod console access, and generate jobs/tests to prevent repeat bugs that caused orders to miss materials.
