Reminded me of 'Stuff Made Here' on Youtube.

I always thought that companies in that industry had specialized teams (software team, hardware team, mechanics team etc etc.) and that it's impossible for a person to possess all skills. But Stuff Made Here has shown me that I was wrong. It's awe-inspiring to say the least.

They have all those specialized teams, because in the industry customers have very high expectations and low tolerance for failure.

Stuff Made Here is a great channel and produces a lot of fun projects, but that only works in a context of prototypes where you need a wide range of skills (but not necessarily a deep one for each of them). E.g. the hair-cutting robot is fun to watch, but barely works (and needs human intervention) and is years away from being a viable end-user product.
