This whole world is new to me, and I am as impressed as any layman.
Particularly interesting to me is how off I would be if I were to guess the amount of time it takes to do anything.
Making the armor: 6 hours
Adding the LED and electronics: 115 hours
That's not literally what those categories are -- I am being hyperbolic -- but it felt like that reading the time investment.
Might be an interesting heuristic to figure out how well someone knows a domain.
Interview of the future: "How long would it take you to write a CRUD app in Rails with persistent storage?" and just see if the time is realistic.
- maxerickson 10y agoJust to note, the modeling was close to 115 hours and the manufacturing and finishing for the armor was 172 hours. Then the electronics. (I think your numbers are your estimates, so I'm not trying to argue, just stating the totals from the article)
- inputcoffee 10y agoEven though I just had fillers in my example, I did misinterpret the numbers in real life, so thanks for correcting that.
