Same reason I try to write my own functions and use standard libraries. Then I know exactly what the code is doing and it's all in my repo and I don't depend on anyone but the programming language maintenance itself.

I resonate with what you are saying. I have solutions waiting to be brought into existence but end up concluding that there is no point. Part of it has to do with cost on several levels. Some of it has to do with legality. I have thought about sharing some of the process of some ideas but get stuck on “what’s the point.” Not sure this reply has anything useful for you other than I think I can relate but I am stuck.

Having said that, I do think that the D.I.Y culture/attitude associated with physical items will become more important over the next decade as younger generations loose the impulse to believe that they can just do things.

You seem much more advanced than average. Please share as much a you can. It may nit seem worthwhile but maybe someone picks it up. IMHO we need this highly decentralized intelligence.

Its awesome. I've generally given up on being able to "just buy" stuff. I'm highly likely going to need to modify things I buy so they fit exactly how I want them to fit into my life. Thus breaking warranty anyway lol. life is too short to not customize ur stuff so it does what u want it to do instead of just what it can do.

There definitely is this prevailing prominent often subconscious sentiment that your things are lesser unless made by a corporation. The number of people I know that think I'm weird for eschewing newly manufactured items as a lifestyle is pretty high. Most of the rest see it as a cute novelty. Often they think I'm too poor and that my enthusiasm for doing it is feigned to save my pride.

I think sharing in that way would provide diminishing returns. People are like fish, they're made of the water they swim in, with humans that water includes concepts and ideas. Sage hanging above my desk, a yogurt culture I've been keeping going for 2 years, repurposing old things, they all seem worse to most than working their lives away for the shiny new version. I would say, save your sharing for those that are interested, and then share freely. That's how I approach it.
