Changed my mind about using zip ties for everything after a client in Austin pointed out the mess.

They said it looked like a rat's nest behind their panel and asked if I could do better. Now I use Velcro straps and a cable comb for any job over 10 zones. Anyone else get called out on their cable management?

Oh man, that hits home. I had a client just stare at a bundle of wires I'd done and go, "Is that... safe?" Felt awful. Switched to those hook and loop straps and a basic comb, takes a few extra minutes but man, the difference is night and day. It just looks like you give a crap, you know? Now I won't even start a bigger job without that stuff in my bag.

Ugh I used to think that stuff was just for show. But seeing that look on a client's face? Totally changed my mind. It really does make everything look a hundred times more professional.
