Today I updated my jinja templates and feeds to include shots posts in the main feed. These posts will prominently show the image in the feed with a small post for each one.
Shots are instagram style imge posts inspired by https://justin.searls.co/shots/.
Epic that this Joslin came back 7 years later to complete this. I thought el Toro was dead, aparantly not. Dude got robbed by a broke ass truck, this must have been eating his soul for the last 7 years.
I first met Adam in college, he seemed like quite a character on the outside, but was always quite smart and often leaned towards realistic solutions to problems rather than over complicating things. He was part of the SAE Formula car, well known for taking a simple problem and trying to turn it into a real formula one carbon fiber solution. I remember a period where he was a fan of old world blacksmithing as they would say at the time. He even got a few very simple and light parts on the car that were easy to make unlike the carbon fiber alternatives. By the time I was there he was more of a leader and did not do a lot of design on any whole system, but would take out class projects for a component or help with some hard problems. This company feels like it is a great extension of who he was a that time, with about 15 years of professional experience tacked on.

I donāt know about you, but I donāt re-flash my keyboard enough to ever remember where I put the bootloader. Sometimes its the last thing I think about in a refactor and I end up cornering myself into a place where I cant get into that layer anymore. Iāve started putting hardware switches on my newer builds, but some older builds donāt have a hardware one, so it requires disassembly and jumping the microcontroller. Even when I have one though, I gotta flip my board over and its annoying sometimes, so I prefer to have a keystroke for it.
What Iāve landed on recently is the idea of a two hand hold down combo for the bootloader. These combos are ones that there is no way I can hit without picking my hands up from their normal homerow position and pressing four keys simultaneously with pointer and thumbs.
Here are some example layouts from keymap-editor
