I don't judge a PCB layout by the number of traces anymore

One of the first things that impressed me when I started learning PCB design was seeing layouts packed with hundreds of traces.

Now I pay attention to different things.

Instead of counting traces, I look at how signals are organized, whether components are placed logically, and if the routing still makes sense when I zoom out.

A complicated layout isn't necessarily a good layout.

For me, the best PCB designs are the ones that solve the design requirements while remaining easy to review and easy to modify in the next revision.
