    Look at this, tell me non-90° layout doesn't look *extremely jarring* to you. We're so constrained by our tools.https://twitter.com/boldport/status/653581316399702016 …

        @starsandrobots 😷 remember the layout of the x0xb0x? the analog components were on curvy traces while all the digital ones at 90°

        @starsandrobots I think what makes visually jarring for me is that it’s not even 45° offset. The QFNs above are placed at multiples of 45°

        @jetdillo exactly. it is SO UNUSUAL to see things placed outside of the 8 angle options. that sense of awkwardness is a sign of how boxed in

        @starsandrobots Only jarring thing is the inconsistent layout on the jacks. I'm totally ok with unusual geometry if it is consistent.

        @starsandrobots We improved detector performance for Keck Array when we remembered that we could route microstrip on a diagonal.

        I tried to do that on some things, it failed aesthetically because the curves weren't easy to keep proportional
