(Feynman said something to the effect that if one is always trying to solve puzzles, and always checking to see how other people solved them, then one day one will discover that one has solved something no one else already had.)
- LeonenTheDK 6y agoInteresting take by Feynman. Thanks for bringing it up, and giving some direction!
- hrishios 6y agoHonestly the first and sometimes last step is to just not be afraid to break things. If the author had been as afraid as me of reverse biasing the circuit, he might not have gotten started. Try things, and if something breaks there's still something you can learn from that behavior.
