TIL that using a kitchen scale for everything, even liquids, is a game changer
I was always a 'cups' person and thought weighing was just for pros, but my sourdough starter got way more consistent after I started weighing the water in grams. Anyone else make the switch and see a real difference in their bakes?

You weigh your sourdough starter water? I just eyeball it from the tap.

Dropping the measuring cup was a huge relief for me honestly. Water density is pretty consistent, so gram for gram it's almost perfect for liquids, but flour is where I really saw the difference. A cup of flour can vary by like 30 grams depending on how you scoop it, but 250 grams on the scale is always 250 grams. My cookies stopped spreading into flat pancakes once I ditched the cups for good. Have you tried weighing your butter and sugar yet?
