An engineer’s life consists of staring down one technical problem after another, fixing this or modifying that, in an interminable quest to make something work. Sometimes failure necessitates a wholesale redesign of a system. Then the whole process repeats itself: Design. Build. Test. Fix. Retest. Redesign. Retest. And so on. All in the hope that, one day, you will reach a point where everything, finally, more or less works.

quote EM gift

If somebody can show that we’re wrong, that would be great. If somebody can explain: “There is a way to make your design better,” this is a gift! I would be like, “Thank you for this great gift! Wow this is awesome!” The worst thing would be like, “We want to do a dumb design and stick with our dumb design.” That would be insane.
—Elon Musk
