So much this.

It's always some mixture between amusing and depressing seeing software people try hardware.

Engineering for manufacturing is a different skillset from even EE, for example a pick and place machine can only run so many reels of components, so sometimes its more economical to use multiple resistors instead of one as you can then get the board made on the smaller and cheaper machine.

Sounds like an optimization problem that can be solved in CAD software.

Is the Framework team originally a software team?
