- formerly_proven 6y agoI assume this isn't a joke, but rather refers to handfitted prototypes working, where a massproduced item would not without significant engineering: if you tweak it until it works, it works.
- smitty1e 6y agoI interpreted it to mean that the on-paper design can hang together nicely, until it's instantiated in some hardware, followed by the "Oh, yeah. . ." moment.
