  • It’s a shortcut for experience, but you lose a lot of the tools you get with experience. If I were early in my career I’d be very hesitant relying on it as its a fragile ecosystem right now that might disappear, in the same way that you want to avoid tying your skills to a single companies product. In my workflow it slows me down because the answers I get are often average or wrong, it’s never “I’d never thought of doing it that way!” levels of amazing.

    I’m a lefty but my teachers never knew how to handle a lefty so my handwriting is also illegible. I had to go do handwriting basics (“colour in the enclosed area of the A shape”) in high school.

    So mileage may vary even if leftyism is tolerated. But look at me now teachers! I type obscure commands all day and get a sore hand when I pick up a pen! Checkmate!












  • Used to work in garden/hardware supply company. The best selling product cost $16 for manufacturing and delivery to our warehouse from China. They would sell in [national hardware chain] for $699. It was about a 40% markup in store, the rest of that $699 was eaten up by warehousing, shipping and staffing costs. If you couldn’t move that product in a reasonable timeframe then you’d start losing money on warehouse costs.

    I figure most items I’ve purchased are 40% profit, 50% warehouse/shipping/staffing, 10% manufacturing/import.
