An IT manager told me my cable management was too tight back in March

I used to pull zip ties as tight as possible because I thought clean meant tight. He pointed out it makes future swaps a nightmare and can pinch wires over time. Now I leave a little slack and use velcro instead of zip ties on anything that might need moving... anyone else had to unlearn the "perfect" look?

Omg yeah, overtightening is such a rookie mistake, I learned that the hard way too.

Had a buddy strip a bolt on his bike frame doing that. Cost him a pretty penny.

Wait @michael_williams, a stripped bolt on a bike frame really costs that much to fix?
