Remember that book about the guy who counted paperclips? This feels like that.

Honestly that's pretty solid for a trainer, those things get beat on. Seen plenty of G1000 setups go way past that with just regular care. Kellyjones has a point about the bar being basic, but hitting 500 trouble-free hours with students constantly flipping switches is still a good sign. The key is keeping the software updates current and making sure the battery bus is healthy, weird power spikes are what usually gets them.

Honestly felt the same way for the longest time... seemed like overkill. But seeing how it actually works in a real place changed my whole view on it. Makes way more sense when you get why they're all there. Kind of a "you have to see it to get it" thing.

Feel that pain. My first "big sale" had me paying customers to take my stuff. Spreadsheets are boring but they save you from working for EXPOSURE BUCKS.

Remember spending three days trying to get a single line of CSS to work right. The whole page would just fall apart if I looked at it wrong. That month felt like a constant loop of writing something, breaking everything, and starting over. Honestly, the final script was maybe ten lines different from the first draft.
