- pipeline_peak 3y agoMore like "I'm building a soap box derby racer!"
- georgeecollins 3y agoyes- which is usually fun and teaches you a lot!
- charcircuit 3y agoThe difference is instead of buying parts to build the hotrod you instead start by making an iron mine. If you want to make something custom you don't need to start from scratch.
- BobbyJo 3y agoI don't think he plans to build his own processors and write it in machine code.
- function_seven 3y agoIn the hierarchy of "from scratch", it goes more like "buy fast car", "build fast car from available parts", "machine own parts from stock", "make own castings from scrap metal", "mine ore and smelt it". Just because my hot rod isn't made from existing parts does it mean I'm mining ore. Many awesome hot rod projects involve machining from stock or even casting from scrap. What OP is doing is on this same level. He's not doing atomic layer deposition or anything. Just writing code on top of an existing OS and using existing programming languages.
