Working corporate makes it hard to have a real portfolio, but here are some of the products I've worked on:
- DC Fuel Pump (Design)
- M130 CAN Gateway (Design)
- ZF SCAM4 (production support)

@i2cjak I've been getting too much slop not worth responding to. The ebbs and flows of the mighty algorithm

@rad_hardened If only we could take both, cheap power and more technological capability in my area? Yes please

@dirtman A 3 day PO creation process sounds pretty sweet actually

@AgroNationalism Aside from the NIMBY problem, here in southeast Michigan our electric utility (DTE) is regularly rated in the worst 10 nationally for outages and reliability.

I'd question the sanity of any company wanting to build a data center here.

@raheelys Let's send them back to RS232

If you dig through the links you'll find that CERN uses KiCAD Dbl libraries.

I feel so vindicated in my choice to do the same.

I finished this monstrosity! I'm relatively proud of the difficult soldering, but the end result was XGPro whining about "bad pin on ZIF" for nets I thought should be NC. 😢

If you like that, try his The Economics and Ethics of Private Property. He has a great section about how "exploitative firm"s are constrained by public opinion instead of economic interests. Also some good stuff about Keynes & Marx

This is hard. First row was easy, now it's hard to avoid bumping off or resoldering adjacent wires

@szeloof Why must it be in SF 😭

I'm a little bummed grok couldn't get this. A simple screenshot of the flag led me to the answer through Google images - it's Dugin's Russia flag from the Hearts of Iron IV mod The Fire Rises. Hopefully grok gets better with image search soon.

@RokoMijic Maybe he should read some Hoppe "That taxation—foremost and above all—is and must be understood as a means for the destruction of property and wealth-formation follows from a simple logical analysis of the meaning of taxation."

@DudeIncognito2 The snakes wanted to eat 0.4mm copper, and I underfed them 0.15mm copper

Oops.

I got my BGA221 adapter in today to add to my T56 arsenal. So far so good!

@MakeAugusta It's dose dependent. I did 9 months for myself in 2016, which actually helped get a job at a small company, and then back to corporate for a 40% raise
