This reminds me of my amazement to learn from the YT teardown movement (AvE, etc) that professional tradesmen often consider a topline Makita or Dewalt cordless tool to be good to go for one job (e.g.,a single commercial high-rise building) and after that, it's time to get (aka, bill for) a new one. I believe software folks could take some cues from that practice.
