Six weeks for a prototype?
“What the f*** are you talking about?”
Our new episode with Falco Schneider is out.
When an experienced engineer told him a prototyping iteration would take six weeks, Falco’s response was simple: “I know nothing about this and I made this in one week.”
That pretty much sets the tone for this conversation.
We talked about teaching yourself to build, what AI changes about hardware development, and why Falco believes experience can sometimes make you underestimate how fast things can move.
We also got into his time at the Merantix Hacker Room, building in San Francisco, what might come after keyboards and screens and why you shouldn’t take every founder’s fundraising story at face value.
And yes, there’s a “F*** all that” moment. Followed by a point worth hearing: build something you actually want to exist, instead of copying whatever the person next to you is building.
Thanks a lot Falco for joining us!!
