I don't follow. Everything in electronic design has already been done
- and much of it more than 60 years ago. What are these new ideas of
which you speak. Can you provide an example or two?

Sixty years ago I couldn't even buy a uA709, which became commercially available in 1965 - I bought one for $30 the following year.

So we have no need of electrical engineers any more?

I know people who think that anything they need can be found in a book
or an appnote or on an eval board. No tiresome thinking or inventing
required. Nobody needs to design electronics any more.

He must have a bizarrely limited social circle. I've never met anybody with that particular delusion.

Fine with me. Less competition.

OK., that's settled then. Anyway, we should not be talking about
electronic design in a thread about US politics. It's off-topic!

 Politics is boring, and your tiny little vote will have on effect on
anything.

Politics get much less boring when it affect you personally. Your tiny vote can have an effect from time to time.

But you can design something that works.

Frequently not all that well, but some customers are less demanding than others.
