Ask HN: How much of your code review ends up as comments on style/form?

If you've designed the wiring correctly this can be done at the central junction, isolating the that room (or rooms). then, when you setup that sound system in the room you already have the speakers built in. just plug into the port on

this is a very good point, and i have had the same experience. its also super common for very cheap, very low end custom ics to use i2c for the same reason; keeping the pin count and package size down

I think this is a solid assessment and a great data point for founders assessing their idea.
