said this to someone on my discord on the topic of making open hardware products; felt relevant to share:
it's hard to do these things at all, it's excruciatingly hard to do them well, and it can be overwhelming, in every sense of the word, to do these things in the open. at teardown another maker told me that making open hardware is a lot like getting punched repeatedly in the face, so, yeah: i have mad respect for anyone who braves all that and gets an actual product over the finish line.
