Ethernet connector wiring is so infuriatingly unnecessarily frustrating. It's fiddly, it requires too much micromotorics, it's error-prone, and if you're colorblind or work in dark spaces, you're fucked.

I wonder, why do we even HAVE to bother with wiring order at this point? Shouldn't we really have some kind of smart wire order autonegotiation algorithm by now? Like, whatever, use any color order you like, including flat wires, it really shouldn't matter which order your connector is wired in, as long as all conductors are set, it shall work.
