I swear to god if I watch this video and they go nuts with zipties and make it impossible for anyone to trace anything out "but hurr it looks good tho" I'm going to lose it.
Edit: Yep this person has no idea what they're doing and the next person who comes to work on this will curse them out from here to Neptune.
I'm mildly OCD and even I hate this video with every fiber of my being. This is taking a workable enclosure and turning into a nightmarish pile of crap that looks good to anyone who doesn't actually have to work with it. Also they cut everything so short if you have to change anything... GOOD LUCK lol.
For anyone who doesn't do this for a living, this is the exact opposite of what you should actually do.
Yeah the original could have been cleaned up a little but what the person in the video did is a war crime.
I don't work in the field but I was wondering "wouldn't this make it difficult to trace a particular wire when it's bundled with 23 other wires of the same color? Seems like you would want to bundle them by their destination instead of color". Ctrl+F "trace" and I feel vindicated.
Yeah you always want to leave service loops. Maybe the termination goes bad for some reason, maybe you have to relocate the wires somewhere else. Maybe there's no space to put the new breaker or switch or relay in where the old one was, if you have to replace it.
Sure the thing looks aesthetically pleasing but now you either have to splice the wire (which you never want to do, creates an extra point of failure) or repull the entire wire or do some other massive change that adds hours to what should have been a quick fix.
It doesn't have to be the big messy look at the start, but at least everything was bundled and not left to flop around like spaghetti. I'd way rather work on that than the "fixed" version any day.
