It has been ZERO DAYS since I confused jwz and jms.

That's a problem with being a geek. We've got two important guys named three-letter-acronyms starting with J.

Also is it a bad sign that my phone keyboard automatically shifted into uppercase when it realized I was saying "zero days"?

@foone One of them created a place that is the last best hope for freedom and diversity in a milieu increasingly controlled by a fascist establishment, and the other one wrote about some space station?

Sufficiently Advanced Bodging™ is indistinguishable from having used the correct pinout.

I've implemented a KiCad footprint that provides an "oh fuck I got tx/rx backwards again" crossover box. Not my idea but I forget where I first saw it (I think it was here on Fedi). Fit two resistors (or solder bridges) horizontally and it's straight through; fit them vertically and it's a cross-over.

https://github.com/accelerando-consulting/Kicad-Libraries/tree/master/Accelerando.pretty

ETA: the name of the footprint is “Oh_Fuck”.

A kicad footprint that is two resistor footprints, where the resistors can be fitted vertically to swap two lines, or horizontally for straight through
3D render of the crossover footprint, showing that it conceals the fact that you are a doofus who often gets data lines bass-ackwards.

@jwalzer @g7vkq @revk yep it can be done with jumpers too
