The supply chain crisis is very, very real, but we are blessed with absolutely terrific operations folks coming from a wide range of industrial backgrounds (e.g., Apple, Lenovo, GE, P&G). They have pulled absolute supply chain miracles (knocking loudly on wood!) -- but we have also had the luxury of relatively small quantities (we're not buying millions of anything) and new design, where we can factor in lead times.
tl;dr: Smaller players are able to do things that larger players can't -- which isn't to minimize how challenging it currently is!
We have an office, but many people aren't in the Bay Area (myself included). Not everyone is doing hardware, and some folks who do have nice home setups they enjoy working with. It's a spectrum, basically.
