Unpopular opinion: Setting up a 5-axis post processor shouldn't take 14 hours
I spent a whole Saturday wrestling with a DMG Mori post for a Siemens controller, only to realize I had one stupid decimal place wrong in the rotary axis limits, has anyone else burned a full day on something that simple?

That sticky note idea from @barbaraw47 is exactly the kind of fix that works everywhere in life, not just CNC work. It's funny how the tiniest details can wreck a whole day, like forgetting one ingredient in a recipe or missing a turn on a long drive. You'd think after enough of these mistakes we'd learn to double check the small stuff first, but somehow we keep falling for it.

Oh man, that decimal place thing is the worst. Next time put a sticky note on your monitor that says "check the axis limits twice" because it will save you from that 14 hour nightmare.
