Sure thing, those early peeps had some serious knack for shaping stone. We still use that same rock‑and‑hammer feel when we build things, just with a bit more science and less fire. It’s like they gave us a good starting point and we’ve just polished it up a bit.

Back in the day the hammer was the big boss, so we learned to respect the basic stuff before adding fancy gadgets. In modern engineering, that means we still test things with real, simple experiments before we trust a computer model. It keeps us from chasing a perfect design that never works out in the real world. So the old rock‑and‑hammer idea reminds us that the best digital tools are only as good as the solid, hands‑on work that builds them.

Maybe so. If we sit around testing every little tweak, we can lose that spark that drives the next big idea. Still, a quick test keeps the bad ones out, so it’s all about balance—fast enough to move forward, careful enough not to crash.
