Same thing happened to me, was up all night reading outdated swagger doc comments and praying for a workaround

Tried the whole intuitive thing in high school, ended up with a knot that looked like a bird's nest

Tying a tie by instinct is a weirdly romantic concept - my grandpa taught me how to knot my first tie when i was 8 and he told me it was all about the 'wrinkles' you want to leave in the fabric as you go. he showed me this one particular style that looked more 'accidentally' tied, and i swear it's the most effortless one i've ever tried - the secret, or so he swore, was in how you pinch the edges of the cloth together while you tighten the knot. still, to this day, it comes undone as soon as i try to eat a meal
