Amen to that as well brother.
The best design engineers are folks that started repairing hardware.

It’s kind of like being a mustang officer.

There are lots of guys with book smarts that just don’t see some of the real world problems.

“The best design engineers are folks that started repairing hardware.”

The best engineers are the hot rodders of the 40s and50s.

If you wanted to go fast, you had to design it and then build it and then modify it until you had a record holder.

When our generation is dead and gone there won’t be anyone left with the ability to design and build from scratch.

We’re dying off fast and i’m glad I won’t be around to see the results!
