• POV and experience from only tool-maker will be limited

• Insights derived through making leads to

  • Expansion of types of systems one can construct

  • See more fundamental behavior/properties

  • Shorter distance between design/iteration and timeless values

  • Cycles of develop theoretical/fundamental insights and system design which is the basis of [[flywheel-effect]]

Requirements

• [[deep-subject-matter-expertise]]

• ability to support cycles of introspection because [[learning-requires-metacognition]]
