Hum... yeah, thanks. Keyword here: "Once you establish yourself as a maker of water-blocks", at least I'm not there either.
Testing is going to be my first project, but not by choice. I can't make this block until I have the testbench... So I'd be established as a tester, before a block maker. I suspect I'd have to quit testing (aka reviewing), if I went into block making, full time. That seems reasonable, no?
