This is roughly the point where we should throw things out and begin again. We need to evolve. Again. Perhaps some sort of re-evolution.

Maybe, I feel that the simpler something is, the easier it is to be something awesome. For example, a TRMNL eink display, just takes a screenshot and puts it on an eink display, and it's awesome. It just does one thing really really well.

The moment you move to something that runs your TV, runs your smart speaker, is the phone in your pocket, is your computer, you end up with some really great features and unfortunately a series of trade offs.

I'm not sure that it means you should dump everything, but that you should try to make things simpler and decentralized.
