Please, make stuff. ↵

We pay people to do all sorts of things we used to do ourselves. In some cases, this makes sense; “outsourcing” can free us from work we find drudgery, allowing us to pursue our passions. But sometimes this reliance on professionals and experts makes us more detached from the things we ought to know about.

If you've never made a thing yourself, you will never know the value of time and labour.
So, please: make stuff.
