Why would you hide cables where you can't see problems before they happen? A visible system with ties lets you spot a frayed cord or loose connection instantly. If you need to swap a keyboard or add a new device, you're not stuck peeling off tape and hoping your whole desk doesn't crash down. Keeping everything tucked away seems neat until you actually have to maintain or change your setup. Then it's a huge hassle compared to just unclipping a few ties.

Yeah it really did lol. Used to think I could just power through any project with enough coffee and stubbornness. That whole mess taught me some things just need more time to cook, you know? Like forcing it just makes everything worse for everyone. Honestly changed how I look at deadlines now.

Oof @dixon.rose, at that point your ads are just expensive background noise, right?
