    this is no different than one of our chip designers who says, guess what, I’m just going to use paper and pencil, I don’t think I’m going to need any CAD tools.

    Lol, dude thinks chip designers don’t use pen and paper, whenever possible?

      How much does he think an engineer spends on CAD tools, anyway? Altium is like, what, $2500 / year? Very “how much can a banana cost”.

      It’s all capital costs for tools, pretty much, anyway, maybe CAD should start charging per net lmao.
