I think that the whole process of making a block is in part an expression of who we are.
In designing Radius, I found that I needed some assurances that the design was ready to be built, with backup in theory: that's how I work in real life, design first, then do it (to my wife's great frustration
).
I remember reading a few years ago about software development methods. Specifically, there are certain levels by which one can code stuff. The first is your basic sit-and-type. The second is more structured, where if you had to do it again, you might end up with similar code. The third, fourth and fifth are high level process-and-review procedures that continually improve themselves over time.
Now this might not seem relevant, but when you think about how the highest level of coding procedure is made up of 80% planning, and 20% actual coding, you know something is being done right.
I have little tooling, and I opted to rely on fellow ProCooling members for the actual building: when in doubt, outsource, it's cheaper.
