One thing we've learned, generally that the rate at which we make them speeds up: 

- There were countless, maybe 20~30 devices to get to Roc Camera 001, if you think about it, it took years to get to the first device
- Device 002~010 was a grind, a a month or two for prod ready
- Device 010~020 was hard, a week to make at a time
- Device 020~050 was hard, but getting easier days
- Device 050~080 was better, a day or two
- Device 080~100 - we're doing all of these today

v cool

would be interested to hear the unlocks at each step

would guess it’s a lot of different things coming together

@farcaster dev / dad / books, cooks, ski, code ~ there are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant

Curious if it’s mostly process and skill improvements or if the design has also changed to be more manufacturable.

Yeah, a lot of little things:

 - Using the right tools or just discovering what the right tools for some of the right jobs are. 
 - Simplifying the designs making it easier to manufacture
 - Optimizing for manufacturability meaning we changed the design or added different parts to the process that would cut down time on manual labor
 - Printing other 3D printed components that would aid in the process of accelerating production. I think we have more things that we printed that are used to aid the process of building a device compared to the number of components that go into an actual device. 
- Some of this stuff also isn't just about manufacturability either. It took a long time to dial in the filament in the way that we wanted it to print in a way that we could print 100 of them. 
- Software repeatability as well - there's definitely still things that are stochastic 
- but it took us a while to dial in a script that would set things up as well while maintaining new features in the process of manufacturing
- Adding things to the list that we didn't initially account for. Figuring that out. 

Other Things like:
 - How do we do shipping?
 - What the box is going to go into?
 - Where are the labels are going to go?
 - What stickers do we need?

Just all of these things that you don't think about when you start making the camera itself.

Yeah the answer was both, and also unforeseen things, essentially all of the above
