5 Maintenance Habits That Keep Your Dev Machine Purring

☕ Sunday coffee thoughts: AI is cool, but let's not forget about the basics - taking care of your hardware - your workhorse!

Just finished giving my machine some proper maintenance (pics attached) and thought I'd share some quick tips that keep these beasts running smooth:

✅ Dust is your enemy - monthly cleanup makes a massive difference in performance
✅ Clean cable management isn't just pretty - it's crucial for proper airflow
✅ Keep those drivers current - your GPU deserves that extra care
✅ Watch those temps - unexpected heat spikes are usually the first warning sign
✅ Double-check power connections - especially if you're running heavy workloads

Simple stuff, but it's what keeps our machines alive and kicking!
