Yeah. I hear ya.

I completely appreciate the spirit of projects of like this. I doubt this dude is trying to "disrupt" the doorbell industry. It's just a fun challenge to solve.

I dunno. I kinda look at it like modern art. You might walk through a gallery and say, "Pfft. I could do that." But you didn't. And that's why it's not your work on the wall.

Make more shit. Shit on other's work less.

Pretty much. :p

At the same time, I'll probably keep using this, since it does sort of fulfil a real need that I had (a doorbell that would actually take power without having to squeeze in too-large batteries).


"Make more shit. Shit on other's work less."

One of the best quotes I've seen this month.
