Re: [DIYbio] Re: Electronic requirements for redesign of Arduino PCR thermal cycler

"it won't really matter if it's a kludge build" - yes, it will matter,
as I described before, it matters quite a lot to hackers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_ethic

It also matters quite a lot in terms of a clean implementation having
tangible long term value, even to others:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory

Bandying about the term "agile" as it was mentioned before is no excuse
for finalizing junk (even if the term is misapplied). Why not just
label it a Microsoft product then? And if that metaphor isn't
understood then nothing else I'm describing will be understood either.
