Control your room's humidity first, seriously.

Yeah I read this blog post from a garage studio that said the same thing. They argued thin glass cracks because newbies heat it unevenly without even realizing. Thick glass gives you that buffer, like watching the glow move slower through the glass. Lets you catch a cold spot before it becomes a crack. That logic made me switch when teaching friends.

Video calls have turned our creative sparks into scheduled meetings with bad wifi.

Ugh, @patlopez, we solved this at my last place by just talking it out openly. People started cleaning up when they realized others noticed the mess. How hard is it to just not leave your stuff everywhere, you know?

Jennifer_rivera makes a good point about both factors. Slow systems definitely add to backlogs, but sudden spikes in demand can also crash things. Like when a popular concert sells out, even well-built booking sites have trouble. It's rarely just one or the other.
