You guys have way too much spare time, as you apparently have time for both reading this stuff AND ranting about that. I wish I would have at least 10% of that time...

Hackaday reader:  "This is not real engineering, stop having fun!"

Yansi:
Dear rogeorge, it is a big difference in making a stupid flashlight powered from two AA cells, and stuff powered from mains or other similar stuff, that can easily cause the user a harm, or property damage.

So, if you like having fun, then have yourself fun, but do not sell your ideas to others, as the correctly engineered form.

Just too many times I've been put in a situation, where a company needed something (cheap was likely the priority over everything else) and hired the first clueless "duino eng-uh-neer" to do the job. I was then the one cleaning the mess after, redoing all once again.

As several others have said, just visit the blog. Every now and then something good pops up and it's quick and easy to skim past the useless stuff. Comments are sometimes worth reading. I try to pay them a visit once a week or so.

There are many levels of car enthusiast...  from the teenager putting a chrome exhaust tip on a beat up Honda Civic, to the 60-something man that sand casts his own engine...

There are many levels of electronics enthusiast too?
