Measure
Define variables, log trials, keep metadata. If it can’t be measured, it’s a sketch for later—label it as such.
Mission
Probe ideas with inexpensive parts, careful method, and clear write-ups. Replicable over impressive. Truth over theatrics.
Build
Prefer simple, repairable designs. Publish wiring, firmware, and configs so others can repeat them.
Share
Post failures and odd results. Negative data is still data.
