<div dir="ltr">Boy howdy (I've always wanted to say that) does that ring true here in Ecuador. There are just so many things that I took for granted back in the USA that I can't get here, be it technology, tools, food ingredients. If something I brought from there breaks, I make sure to tear it apart to see if it is something I can fabricate from what I can get here. It really pays to be a Jack/Jill of all trades. I've come to appreciate the value of knowing a little of everything, and not much of anything in particular.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jul 29, 2019 at 1:29 PM Marcus Daniels <<a href="mailto:marcus@snoutfarm.com">marcus@snoutfarm.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p>When technology doesn’t work, take it apart and figure out what is wrong with it or how it could be improved. Human experts, or skilled practitioners, can hurt more they help because they have no incentive to unpack their expertise into reusable automated
systems. The trick is to look at skills as technology and to be facile evolving the technology.
