Hah, good point! I still think a much larger percentage of the general population, probably even HN readers can saw and drill than run a custom server or setup

Hah, good point! I still think a much larger percentage of the general population, probably even HN readers can saw and drill than run a custom server or setup Samba. The complexity is low and the "discoverability" or what you call it is high, as you can see what you're doing and can try many times. Of course once you get to more complex stuff, making joints, finishing surfaces, it's another thing...
