i need opinions on how to structure a new venture - my partner guarantees POs (personally financing $100k in machines). I'm providing floorspace(owned), programming + running machines at the start, handling all business ops. what's a fair split?

@maahirpanchal You’re right I can’t 🤷 unless it’s something obvious like dfa

@yacineMTB I love Texas but if you move here during the summer, your family will never forgive you. Wait till October 👌🏻

@Dylan_Morri When people do this, do they start from zero code or fork an existing open-source one and just customize?

@faraz_r_khan @maahirpanchal 3d printing doesn’t count? 😂

[engineeredAF @EngineeredAf]

@maahirpanchal my best guess is two cylinders for the inner and outer edge, then spline on surface (one per cylinder). Then a few profiles to guide, then a loft, then thicken, then add radii and then pattern. (?) @cadbitch

live update #3: i've fumbled the ball - ran out of a rare resin compound while trying to fill the order. now i'm calling everyone and their grandma to check stock. my best lead is a 3-day DHL from Italy 😳

[engineeredAF @EngineeredAf]

Update: We did a little back and forth, and someone must have spec'd me in because now I'm getting those auto-RFQ emails, but they're no longer phishing scams.

@RocketVnus @bennbuilds @reflectorbital i'd pay to block the sun for a bit in houston during the summer

Interviewer: What's your idea of a dream vacation?
Me: Coming into work on a Saturday.
Interviewer: You're hired.

This better be you or you're ngmi

@SkinnyfatTony Hell yeah. Love the inspo. My shop has been in the family for 30 years and now that I’m holding the reins, my greatest fear is not being able to pass it down to the next generation 👀

@10_X_eng @barbinbrad @jrhartman131 software out of necessity not for $

[engineeredAF @EngineeredAf]

i won't disagree. i will say the more i use it, the more i use it - payroll, attendance, knowledge app, crm and my current favorite - the to-do list haha.

@10_X_eng @yacineMTB seems like all the cracked builders stay in dfw. meanwhile i'm slummin' in the swamp pit known as htx

[engineeredAF @EngineeredAf]

@10_X_eng @barbinbrad I’m on odoo and so is @jrhartman131 for me it’s taken about a year to really get the hang of it but if I need a customization I can vibe code it pretty quick. I feel like I’m going hardware -> software now

[engineeredAF @EngineeredAf]

@JasonPremoMFG Lucky for you I got just the guy. @cadbitch

[engineeredAF @EngineeredAf]

@emm0sh I know what all those engineering words mean separately, but not together. 🤷
