When in fact you evolve and sell a certain amount of electronics for
niche markets. Your forays into higher volume markets don't seem to have
done well. You are insane enough to think this gives you some kind of
authority.
I mostly like to design electronics because it's fun and keeps me
amused. Better than having a real job. People buying it is a nice side
effect and pays for test equipment and snacks.
Don't you think designing electronics is amusing? I guess not.
It's certainly fascinating. Having to toss out lots of solutions and start over isn't remotely amusing, but that's what it takes to get to a good design.
It has a lot in common with playing colossal cave
