When you paint with a roller, do you ”cut in the wall” first then roll, or roll first then ”cut in”?

This is not really fluff, per se; it might have some probative value to some. When you roll paint onto a wall do you ”cut in”, as in, brush painting around all the stuff the roller cant like door knobs, mirrors bracketed to the wall, ceiling fans, etc. and other stuff you can’t or do not want to remove, then roll the major parts that is left after cutting, or do you roll the wall first trying to cover as much as you can so there will be as little cut painting possible? I know it is pretty much personal preference as I don’t think there is a right or wrong order to do it, but after a conversation with a handyman I just mused over the question.
