Three years ago I swore by hand coding G-code for every part

Used to spend hours tweaking every line for small runs, thinking it gave me more control. Then I tried Fusion 360's CAM for a 50-part job last spring and cut my setup time in half. Anyone else find the software actually catches little errors you'd miss typing it out?.

Oh man, that brings back memories of my first CNC project where I hand wrote the code wrong and crashed the spindle into the vise. Fusion's error checking saved my butt so many times since then.

Wait, you actually crashed a spindle doing that? I've come close a few times with wrong offsets but never actually made contact.
