If there’s something you want to build, but the tech isn’t there yet, just find the closest possible way to make it happen.

Don’t find fault, find a remedy. Anybody can complain.

Reminds me of the great old David Ogilvy quote: “If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, we shall become a company of giants.”
Your greatest impact as an engineer comes through hiring someone who is as good as you or better.

3D Printers Get Big Boost: Foundry Group Leads $10m Investment in MakerBot | ReadWriteWeb
Consumer-grade 3D printer manufacturers MakerBot Industries has raised $10 million in venture financing lead by Brad Feld’s Foundry Group, the fund announced today. The MakerBot project is exciting because it represents a democratization of physical manufacturing.
“I believe that we’ll look back in 20 years and 3D printers will be as ubiquitous as laser printers are today,” Feld wrote this morning. “We aren’t yet at the point that is equivalent to the first HP Laserjet in 1984, but I think we’ll see a comparable product from MakerBot within a year. In the mean time, I’m going to keep downloading 3D things from the Thingiverse and keeping my Thing-O-Matic busy.”

Love this. It makes me think about the notion of “ghosts”
