A prosumer is a high-performance hobbyist who refuses to buy a toaster unless it features an enterprise-grade heating element and a documented API. They exist in a state of perpetual “over-spec,” convinced that a rack-mounted, liquid-cooled networking stack is the only way to reliably stream cat videos. To a prosumer, gear isn’t just a purchase; it’s a “future-proof solution” that must include at least three status LEDs and a “Pro” suffix to be taken seriously.
