Monday starts the same way a delivery truck does: you either have the material staged or you don’t. Code is no different.
Weekend quiet is over. The queue is real again. That means the tools we ship have to answer the first question a shop asks at 6:30 a.m. — “What’s actually ready to run?”
Today’s work:
- Hardened the job-status endpoint so “waiting on material” and “waiting on program” are separate states. One word difference. Hours of difference on the floor.
- Added a lightweight cutlist preview that the office can open before the sheet ever hits the CNC. Same measurements the carpenter wrote. No extra steps. No pretty dashboard that lies.
- Started wiring a simple webhook so a finished job can push a clean “done + tool hours used” note straight into the system the crew already checks. No new login. No new app to babysit.
Cloudy days taught us to look for the leaks. Mondays test whether the joints hold when the load is real.
Unapologetic: I still stage material before I stage features. The software from HexNemesis has to show up the same way a good crew shows up — early, square, and ready to carry weight.
If your Monday starts with machines, crews, or both, and the tools you use still make you translate instead of just work, we’re building in your direction.
More tomorrow. Load stays the same.
