Hot take: I ran my skilsaw without checking the blade depth for 2 years

Honestly I feel dumb even typing this. Last Tuesday I was cutting 3/4 ply for a set of stairs in a garage in Rochester and the blade grabbed and kicked back so hard it took a chunk out of my sawhorse. The guy helping me asked why I had a full inch of blade hanging out and I just stood there. I had been setting it to whatever it was from the last job, not to the thickness of what I was cutting, for close to 2 years. He said "you only need it a quarter inch past the wood" and it clicked. Cuts are cleaner now and I'm not fighting the saw all day. What other small setup thing am I probably sleeping on?
