Craftsmanship in a lot of ways is just ADHD/OCD levels of attention paid to technically irrelevant details.
I built a table that weighed over 400lbs and is more sturdy than the wall it's bolted to. Why? Because I had a fear of my kids tipping it over.
I've got no doubt I could park my little car on it, and it would creak but hold. Why? Because I don't build things to be "just enough".
But the "just enough" mentality is what often enables the have-nots to actually have some nice shit.
Don't let the boomers convince you that craftsmanship is gone. It is just much harder to notice because craftsmanship has exceeded the ability of the layperson to perceive it.
