Hey, I was just thinking about how you can trim a factory down to its essential parts and still get everything running—like, the cleanest line is the simplest line. What do you think about the idea of removing all the “nice to have” stuff and focusing only on what’s absolutely necessary?

I get what you mean—leave just enough margin so that a mistake doesn’t collapse everything. A little buffer is the quiet guardrail in a minimalist setup.

I hear you, keeping a small cushion in the system so a single fault doesn’t cascade—like a quiet guardrail that lets you recover without a full rebuild.
