competitive markets lead to repair economics because u don't have time to step away and think innovation is non linear, repair economics is linear (which makes it attractive)

Perhaps things are not designed with an intention to repair them.

Neat idea, but I think it's the opposite of true. Expect fewer maintenance/repair techs means a smaller pool of people who have the skills necessary to innovate.

I don't buy this. (a) There is a pleasure in reusing/repurposing items that has nothing to do with saving money. (b) Not everything you want can be bought, and even if it can, good luck finding it! (Amazon search is REALLY bad for unorthodox items).

Being capable at repair/maintenance is a prerequisite to doing home diy/maker stuff. If true, then the non-sensible repair and maintenance work is a necessary precondition to diy/maker innovation. You just wont have the tools or know how to innovate. What say you?

It can make perfect sense to do repair and maintenance work. Only in the beginning is it a net loss of time, money and frustration. Once you have some tools, experience, and confidence you're in the black.

Not really. You can't consider it in isolation unless you actually enjoy it. Your time may be worth far more doing other stuff. Comparative advantage matters.

This is why I don't believe in the "maker movement". It's just tech-chic DIY that distracts from working on the sort of problems that matter to a lot of people (while also thereby creating that negative association to useful tinkering). It's tech-washing pastoral mimetic desires.

Yep, there's only 2 ways of doing it that are not tech-washed pastoralism (great phrase, stealing it): you either enjoy it as a hobby and call it that, or you do it in a strategic way shaped by an understanding of the manufacturing economy, and in pursuit of a different world
