ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.
That kind of poo poo drives me nuts. You don't have to go crazy like the guys on cable porn, just some basic organization. Exactly how loving hard is it to just bundle the cables together and put some zip ties around them

problem is, I do that, then sometime later down the road I need more of the cable so I clip the tie and am too lazy to redo it

i have a big roll of velcro tie and trim as needed, then if it gets too big I can add a bit to bridge or recut a bigger tie

Yeah that's all you need. One roll seemingly lasts forever even if you put a loop every six inches like you should

i just buy a 100 count multi-color pack of those little 5" or so velcro straps that have a loop in one end for $4 or whatever. then i let them sit on my bench instead of ever using them

that last part is the most important component of my cable management workflow

yeah I bought a load of these and it's arguably the best purchase I've made in 2023. so incredibly satisfying to manage me some cables :pray:

put your desk against a wall and shove all the cables down the back. nobody can see it who gives a poo poo what it looks like.

what kind of wretch puts a desk in the middle of a room where the back is even visible?

unmanaged cables mean you have an initially high but constantly decreasing chance of just pulling one out of the pile reasonably easily

in time this chance will drop to zero as the rat cable king spontaneously evolves behind your desk

managed cables mean that chance starts at zero and stays there but ocd weirdos can sleep better at night knowing there is beauty in this world that will never be seen
