Imagine because they’re first time product designers.
- Havoc 4y agoThey’ve been making merch for years, just perhaps nothing of comparable mechanical complexity
- shapefrog 4y agotshirts / hoodies != custom designed mechanical item with many moving parts.
- DrudgeCorporate 4y agoTheir engineer that they hired specifically for this task had years of previous experience. It's stated in the video.

- yurishimo 4y agoThey have in-house clothing designers as well that specifically tailor each garment before mass production. None of their merch from the past 2 years is "off the shelf" in any way.
- bigyikes 4y agoThe primary employee responsible for the screwdriver seemed to be a production engineer with 10 years experience. I’m also aware of experienced product designers they employ. Linus himself has product management experience, and probably employs some PMs too.
- tpmx 4y ago> The primary employee responsible for the screwdriver seemed to be a production engineer with 10 years experience. The first primary employee responsible for the screwdriver was the affable but very young Alex ("I know SolidWorks"). I like his car review videos! Then towards the like the last third of the project lifecycle they hired this guy with a decade of experience, but wasn't it mostly in EE? > Linus himself has product management experience In a PC hardware reseller company. That's about making decisions about what products to buy/stock, not about designing/building something. Quite different. He's most likely aware of the difference, but was still using that phrasing in the video. shrug.
