No, I'm not here for help, I'm here because I'm at the other end of the spectrum from the likes of Richard and Dario and I feel that the conversation here tends to lean a bit much to their point of view. This is to be expected: they are stand-out representatives of what many others would like to achieve and we can all learn something from them, including me. What we can't do is replicate the thirty years at the bench.
One of the threads that predicated this one is Stijl Cycles
Smoked Out. I love "making since before maker was cool" and I appreciate the sense in having a business thread restricted to those who are already established, but I also think it's a worthwhile topic for those who aren't (yet).
This thread isn't meant to be about me, except in the sense that I'm prepared to advocate a point of view that is very different from many others'. For instance, I would genuinely love to hear a few of the smaller questions you feel are relevant to you. I then hope that those of us just starting out can work out what's relevant to us.
BTW to me "a bit philosophical" is not an insult. Amongst other things I trained in Philosophy, my field of interest was the intersection between formal logic, the philosophy of natural language and cognitive neurophysiology. I was all set to do a PhD in this but I worked out that the only jobs available were teaching philosophy.
