If it's really complicated, like an entirely new Iron Man suit, then it might malfunction once in an amusing way. Then he tightens a screw and it's perfect. It never fails outright or bricks itself.

In my experience, this is not how hardware or software development goes. I want this power so much.

Agreed. It's comical how he's seemingly able to rapidly build stuff that requires experience in multiple high end fields and then he even surrounds himself with his own tech and is not buried under maintenance hell for it all.

My alternative head canon is that he's actually only good at building AIs and Jarvis and Friday are the ones who actually make all of his crazy ideas work.

In a What If? episode, he made a suit that can transform into a racing car without creating AI first

Let's have a Futurama/Avengers cross over.

He is an Artificer, plain and simple
