  @mntmn quality components mean hardware has better longevity, it’s a good thing.

  @mntmn Wow... how much did these cost when you designed them in?
  My relevant post from yesterday: https://mastodon.social/@poleguy/113346575506907415
  Is this a case of "once you get one of these hyper-specific parts designed in, they've got you: vendor lock in and price ramping up to infinity and beyond?"

    @aj@ohess.org That's not quite the angle I was going for. I think the best designers know how to build the blocks they use. I'm just hypothesize why there is a huge gap in training materials. It really is no fun reusing modules as it limits your flexibility and creativity. Vendor lock in, cost. etc. And sometimes the module is worse in all ways than just rolling your own.
