Bootstrapping is a fun thing. You already have some good answers.
Now imagine how most things around you were made, how higher tech was made with lower tech. How they made high precision tools, when there were only lower precision tools available? For example: how to make a 0.001 mm precise caliper when all you have is a 0.1 mm one? There were a lot of challenges like that and we still get to new ones. I just wonder what general term is used for things like that.
