You’ve got the inspiration folder. That developer setup with the ultrawide and the perfectly hidden cables. The IKEA countertop build with the floating shelf. The gaming-by-night, work-by-day station with the LED wash on the wall behind it. You order the desk, the monitor arm, the drawers, and a cable tray.

The two numbers rarely sit side by side The Census…
