I doubt that, first and not least because Home Depot stocks lumber.

Home Depot also sells tables.
Haha, that’s pretty close to any software I’ve ever written. Suck in a ton of open source dependencies, write comparatively little, and say “look what I made!” Buying a table, adorning it with vase of fake flowers, and claiming to be a Senior Woodworking Engineer sounds about right. I’ll be a Principal after buying a new bed frame & putting a mattress on it.
Wait until you find out that lumber doesn’t grow on trees like that.
It’s manufacturing all the way down.
Don’t sell yourself short.
Not good ones. But in any case the spec was not to provide a table, was it?
import table
table()
You're supposed to "hallucinate" the lumber.
And, I imagine, Home Depot might have better and more precision tools available, plus professionals who know how to use them.
Fixed. Nice catch
Well, I've built tables before.
