@vgr Hackability includes a tension between complexity, which allows for cool modifications, and legibility, which allows for modifications.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

2 signs of low hackability: things that are destroyed by disassembly, things that are useless without docs (eg. mystery chip w/o pinout)
