This is great. The fact that there is an incredibly low marginal cost for software projects has been on the front of my mind for a while. Compared to working on something mechanical or electrical, you can get from "fuzzy idea" to "workable-ish code" with incredibly low cost in time and money.

I've learned a lot about browsers, for example, chugging away at a little toy website[0] with a buddy. I know it is simple, but it blew me away that I could dig into webkit to see why stuff worked the way it did. We are incredibly lucky to be digging into such an accessible field.

That’s very true but I think the fact that my day job is in software development has pushed me to work on more physical projects on weekends.
