My dad is a self-trained handyman. His handyman skills include woodworking, electrical, plumbing, painting, and automotive. He assisted a family friend for interior painting. They supplied painting equipment for each other. My dad and his friend used a 1.5 inch painting brush for the first time in their lives. I asked a question after he told me the story, "You should have purchased the 1.5 inch decades ago." My dad said he had no need.
There is irony from a hardware technology point of view. My dad kept serial port cables, parallel port cables, USB-A cables, keyboards with the keyboard jack, mouses with the mouse jack, power cables, stereo cables, and landline phone cables. My dad was in no position to say he had no need for a 1.5 inch paint brush.
Everyone relates to the above story. There is always an open pouch for a new object in the toolbelts. The arsenal stocking up on something new is infinite. Upgrades, replacements, and strengthening never stops. There are exceptions such as duct tape. Sometimes the old school is still valid today. It's a judgment call.
Equipment, Knowledge Or Training, And Personnel
A standard formula for success is the proper equipment, correct knowledge or good training, and personnel behaving as a team. A trained person can substitute personnel behaving as a team if the situation is a single person. For instance, I self-trained with a new desktop PC, finalized job training schedules, and choosing the correct technology skills to train from Jan 2020 to Mar 2024. The end result was a Self Job Training Graduation Analytics Research Technology on Apr 19, 2024. An obvious example is developing children in a family. The parents provide the equipment such as clothes, books, and meals. The children are taught the ABCs and 123s by a good teacher. The children's personnel are their parents providing guidance and nurturing.
A personal belief is never stop innovating--innovate infinitely. Innovate infinitely applies to tools, accessories, equipment, and supplies.
