one tip I didn't put in the blog because it's probably too boring for non-builder types:

when laying out your 16" centers....

I started on the left, so the pieces started out small and got bigger.
Then on the right, they are big and get smaller as you get towards the eaves.

Here's the thing, though:

If you line up your studs starting on the left of the 16" marks, your chop saw cuts will be on the LONG side of the angled edge. Once you get past the peak of the roof, you need to keep that same 16" distance, so your chop saw cuts will be on the SHORT side of the angled edge. When you get to that part of your build, this will make sense.
