Craftsmanship vs the Factory

Everyone wants craftsmanship for factory prices.

But craftsmanship isn’t built in a factory, so the two are always on opposite sides of the coin.

The factory delivers the volume the craftsman can’t, but will never evolve into the delivery of a craft.

You can be the factory or the craftsman; both are solid, but you can’t be both.

You can be a craftsman who delivers at factory scale with work similar to your craft, but never will be.

Pick one, move forward, stop trying to be both.
