No offense taken. The wifi project was indeed very hard, but I think we moved the world forward at least a little bit. If you're really interested, you can find out more about how we did it in my recorded talk here (although the slides pdf has a lot more detail): https://apenwarr.ca/log/20160328 https://apenwarr.ca/log/20160328 And some additional comments on the evolution of wireless networks in my talk from Battlemesh last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PL3bvPCw5QCLJ-VJPamVeQx-UPNBVyaopj&v=vJL8xrQ3gOE https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PL3bvPCw5QCLJ-VJPamVeQx-U... One part that made the problem more tractable was that we both ran the network and made the devices. This almost never happens. It means we could optimize the devices for quality and supportability instead of making the usual consumer device tradeoffs (is it pretty enough? cheap enough? glitzy enough?).
