ILXO/workshops/Disassembly

Time estimate:

If it ain't broke... (Why Disassembly?)

Paraphrase this stuff

Another thought is that some people learn best by fearlessly using things, breaking them, and then fixing them - and others (myself included, though I've been teaching myself how to break things for several years now - it /does/ make you a better hacker...) learn more comfortably through guided exercises on how to do things "properly," without breaking them first. Whether this is cultural upbringing, personal tendencies, or whatever else, we do have to account that different people will have different levels of comfort with different ways of learning, even (especially) as small kids.

Planning/braindump:

• (Sufficient number of screwdrivers)
• (to what extent are we having people do this to working XOs? Their own?)
