You be careful boy, them electrons will fall off the track when
trav'lin' round too sharp corners!<br>

Smooth angles are good for leaving your fast transients intact.
Fat traces give phat sounds. :)

<div class="">But seriously, that has indeed been debunked long
time ago. As the Altium article correctly states there is a
point for manufacturability of sharp corners, and their tendency
to cause acid traps during etching. I haven’t seen any problems
with that in the last decade with 6/6 mil spacing boards though.
I guess it might still be a problem if you’re
designing/manufacturing iPhone pcb’s.<br class="">

<div>Also, 45 degree corner is a misnomer in this context but
everybody seems to call it that way historically. It should be
called a 135 degree corner.</div>

<div class="">I had picked up similar folk knowledge

<div class="">Is there any other tangible (audible)
