Command hooks are eating the world.
It’s the tradwife attack on the built environment
Conversation
My wife is addicted to them. I still haven’t quite figured out how/when to use them
Me: well, this home improvement project calls for an Arduino, a miter saw, and 2 custom 3d printed parts
Wife: already done with a command hook, why don’t you take out the trash instead?
Me: 🤬

For those who came in late, these are plastic hooks that attach/detach cleanly to walls using a custom 3M adhesive. It’s pretty strong and surprisingly general purpose. You wouldn’t expect so many problems to be solved with hooks. Turns all walls into pegboards basically.

Too late, my memory has already been appended with the relevant information.
"A command hook is a configuration variable that contains a shell command (+options) that will be executed once a particular hook is reached in the plugin being configured. Traditional wives love them."

The important part is the adhesive strip comes with a handle that cleanly peels it off leaving no residue.
