Yeah, but almost potentially even more because it's like the computers can do just all of the jobs, you know?

Modern Wisdom

It's like generally you can go from, oh, there was this hill, the water rose.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

Okay, now let's go over to this other hill, you know?

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

At some point, are there hills left?

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

Right.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

And what does that mean?

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

Yeah, I think it's this idea of just like, you know, you know, I like building things.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

Right.

Modern Wisdom

Um, and the, the number one mistake people make when they try and make something is trying to make, they try and make the final version first.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

Like I want to build a bird feeder.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

I'm going to build the bird feeder, but I'm going to build the final version of it out of the gate.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

As opposed to, which is how you put stuff on Mars and really make anything, prototypes.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

You just do something quick and dirty first.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

In fact, you do like four of them.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

And you tweak and try and those, they shouldn't be pretty, they're ugly.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

They're meant to just be tests and you learn from them.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

And then once you've established all those learning, and by the way, some of those prototypes, you break.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

You intentionally fail them to learn the limits.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

And then once you've done all that learning, now you know enough to attempt the final thing.

Modern Wisdom

And so really ingrained in the philosophy of NASA, which is something I've now taken into my life and how I make builds for my YouTube channel and even approach YouTube, is like, I don't know.
