Should you open-source your work? Giving away your IP and all the hard work you put into a project might seem unreasonable to many of us, and yet for some makers, it's a no-brainer.

In this conversation, I'm learning how Thea Flowers of @winterbloom designs and engineers her modules. She talks about her learning process of analog electronics, which is not a very straightforward path at all, even for a seasoned software engineer. She shares her creative vision and why making knowledge accessible is such a core element in it.
We also talk about her modules, of course, and how one might tackle the challenge of adding features to products after their interface is settled.

Check out the full conversation below and scroll for some images of prototypes and notebook sketches.
