Grinder setting feedback from a barista friend changed my mornings

I was pulling shots that were way too bitter for weeks, and a barista friend watched me grind and said 'your beans are getting chewed, not cut' at my local shop in Portland. Switched from a 4 to a 2 on my hand grinder and adjusted my dose down by 2 grams, now the same bag tastes sweet and balanced. Anyone else gotten a simple adjustment tip that completely fixed their routine?

Grind finer, that bitterness is often just bad extraction.
