> Building one is not significantly less work than building 10.

One of the more disappointing things about being a programmer-woodworker is that as a programmer, as soon as I've got something that works right once it's no effort at all to chuck a loop around it to repeat it a bunch of times.

In woodworking, on the other hand? Putting in 20 screws takes almost twice as long as putting in 10.
