Working in a hardware store has really shown me how much we need #OpenStructures
We have a whole wall of sockets for socket wrenches, around two dozen imperial and two dozen metric, and the differences between them are so minuscule that people have no choice but to bring the thing in and just keep trying sockets until one fits. And that's not even mentioning the whole aisle of different screws and nails. 90% of this stuff could just not exist, since they serve the exact same purpose as the other 10%
The solution is standardized, open-source #modularity. If you're one of the heroes building the new world (aka #makers) please make it a world that works with OpenStructures
