I use my debuggers multiple times a week so they’re almost always right at my desk.
Scissors and tape measures, on the other hand… Well now that I have a thousand of each I’m normally able to find one within an hour or two.
I own an Ethernet cable tester. Somewhere.
Then the frustration as you desperately try to find the hardware you know you have to avoid the shame of buying a new one.
I highly recommend buying a cheap toolbox for this. I have one with my a multimeter, various cable testers, probe tracers, crimpers, etc.
Works great as long as things get put back!
Edit: To be clear, you don’t take things out of the toolbox to go do your task. The whole damn toolbox goes with you, things come out, things go back in, toolbox goes back. Only option that worked for me.
That’s easy, I keep my Ethernet cable tester next to my Ethernet cable crimper! Where is that? Well it’s where I keep my Ethernet headers! Where are they stored? Easy, next to the Ethernet cable tester!
Easy solution, buy one, find yours, cancel order.

Right? New programers go in the bin with the old programmers.

Use MCUs that can be programmed over straight USB.
Lol I do when I’m building something, usually I need these stupid programmers to fix manufacturer crap
Like today’s meme being brought to you by Asus™ Where you have a 50/50 shot on if our shitty ass BMC update process bricks it!
I have a router that kept going in to a boot loop, that they didn’t delete the serial debug interface (complete with headers) was its saving grace. I’ve replaced it by now but that let me keep it going long enough to get the good replacement instead of the cheap and quick one.
