I was thinking about this the other day. Now that software is within reach of most idea makers, it opens the door for a much deeper level of tinkering. With very affordable, if not slow, 3d printers, and an abundance of hardware interfaces, I think we are going to see some really great weekend projects that will turn into beautiful, "where has this been until now" utility for the world!

I'm excited to see software engineers and teams morph into the next stage of product builders!

My little brother is a beach lifeguard but in the last year he’s pumped out so many incredible projects. It feels like he’s been unleashed. Such a cool era!

That's really great to hear!

I just woke up 2 hours early this morning with my mind spinning but all sorts of cool hardware projects. I could do that now all feel within reach!

Before my list of ideas, never really got much action because I didn't think I could execute on all of them in my lifetime.

But now I'm making notes on all my little project ideas because they think once I get the hang of this new way of working then I will be able to execute on way more projects and it is really becoming quite exciting. But this excitement is definitely going to cause me to have a nap today, lol...
