inHit 500 board repairs last month and it snuck up on me
I just saw a video from a tech YouTuber talking about how rack-level repairs have been getting more common with all these new server designs. 500 repairs in a month is a huge number, must be a busy shop. Was it mostly power supply swaps or did you get into some weird motherboard failures too? I remember when we hit 300 a few years back and it felt like we were drowning in work.

Watched @jamesblack's crust shrink into a frisbee once, then realized I forgot to chill at all.

inShowerthought: Is it faster to batch icons or build them as you go?
Go screen by screen. Clients change their minds way too often for batching to be worth it.

inDebate: Should we use shop vacs on creosote or stick to manual brushes?
Team brush only" is the right call honestly. That story about your neighbor's fire is exactly why I stick to the old school method. You just can't see what you're leaving behind with a vac, and that thin layer of glaze is no joke. I've seen guys get called back months later when that glaze hardens and starts blocking the flue. Plus a brush lets you feel the buildup as you work, so you know when it's actually clean. Vacs are fast but they're not worth the risk when a family's safety is on the line.
