Your point might be better stated directly because attributing the characteristics of humanity to... humanity is the opposite of what anthropomorphizing means.
My backhand is OK but my forehand sucks. Grip styles for standard handles usually end up favoring one side or the other. I'm making a handle shape that's easier to get the blade angle right on both sides. Hopefully a couple more iterations on the 3D printer and then I can have a functional prototype made.
SEEKING WORK | SF Bay Area/Shenzhen/Islamabad | Remote only
Team of 4: PM, Mechanical, Electrical, and Software. We build smart hardware: $35k/month for the whole team. Only take one project at a time. We have an opening in August.
We can design anything from a 35 foot tall custom CNC to a bluetooth earbud. We prefer to work on new ideas and original designs (something that hasn't been done before).
The team is experienced working together and is ready to tackle hard problems without a lot of ramp time. Everybody is in Islamabad except the PM (me). I bounce between Shenzhen, the Bay Area, and Islamabad. All the engineers are full time, and only work on one project at a time. I'm part-time. My background is in robotics, and I'm also experienced in bringing new designs into volume production in China if you need that later.
On-site project kickoff and check-ins are OK if you are in one of the areas above. We do not work on projects that are spread between multiple contractors, or that don't have a clear end-goal.
I automatically increase my bids by at least 30% if I learn there's a purchasing department involved.
Invoicing an engineering manager who needs things to happen tends to be the least friction from my side.
Even if it costs more on the purchase, inflexibility does help streamline business operations. Any business who can just mandate "this is how this process is going to work" and make it stick is going to benefit from not needing to make bespoke agreements with every little vendor they co-operate with. I believe WalMart is the classic example for this case.
