The board layout triggers my OCD :)

Why the weird angle of those main ICs?

Usually it's 45 degrees or parallel to the board.

I routed the i.MX block like a normal human being, then rotated everything 23 degrees to (1) avoid the fiber weave effect and (2) not collide with any of the mounting holes, as that placement needs to be symmetrical under the slots for the two daughterboards.

I get that it's triggering people, I get PTSD thinking about needing to touch that routing as well. Altium doesn't support arbitrary-angle differential pairs, so this was a huge mess. Next time I should just ask the PCB manufacturer to rotate the fiberglass sheets by a few degrees instead.

I love the curvy traces! It gives me the warm feels about old school handmade rubylith films. Don't change a thing!

Things that are placed non orthogonally is a sign of high speed black magic to me.

Edit: the other thread shows me writing a reply at 2am this morning... Pretty sure I didn't dream walk just to post on HN...
