I always get a kick out of seeing my videos randomly on HN. Ask me anything.
Do you have any commercial off-the-shelf tools in your shop that you dislike, but are the best option available for a particular job?

I'm not Ben but having worked in a lot of labs my answer is pH meters, they routinely are annoying, fragile and finicky but there really isn't a better way when you can't just use paper test strips.

That's a good question. A Windows laptop. It's super annoying, constantly updating itself, forced reboots, network disconnections, fragile, yet is required for many CAD and acquisition/control proprietary software.

I have to admit, I almost never read fiction. Maybe Catcher in the Rye, and that was years ago!

I agree! I've had the best luck with this one, which is far better than the average pH pen from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Accuracy-Suitable-Testing-...

Huge fan of your videos. What are the chances of quitting your day job and working on side projects/youtube videos full time, like StuffMadeHere?

I really liked owning my own business (MRI-compatible computer peripherals 2006-2011), and I'll very likely start another unrelated small business in the future. I also like to do YouTube videos as a hobby or at least Patreon-supported hobby, and not depend on them for main income, because I think it changes the character of the videos. If I depended on videos, I'd probably also start thumbnail optimization, A/B testing, YouTube face, sensationalistic titles, growth hacking, and all the stuff that I don't like as a viewer, but genuinely works to make more money. Patreon support has been a huge help in this regard.
