It's really amazing that his family has so many things that have stood the test of time. I've been thinking about how many things in my life are expressly designed to be cheap and disposable. Notably, how bad that is for the environment, how it empowers oppressive regimes to whom we outsource our pollution and pseudo-slave labor, etc. I try to find more things that are simple, robust, and which fill me with joy such that I'll hang onto them for a long time.
- annapurna 5y agoYeah agreed. It’s something my wife and I have discussed a lot in the past few years esp. coming from families who actually worked with proper goods/materials. Working in/with software just doesn’t feel the same and like you, we have reached to similar conclusions and maybe, just maybe, if the stars align, in not so distant future, we kickstart the old family enterprise to build low volume, high quality products with guaranteed lifetime warranty (~20-30 years).
