"Keep going" is bad advice. It doesn't tell you what to keep going on. He quit the valve approach, the pump approach, the ring architecture. He never quit the goal. Those are not the same thing. youtube.com/shorts/TsFUO6oTN… #Makers #DIY #MakerCommunity #Making #ProjectLife

FieldStation 42 doesn't recreate the nostalgia. It recreates the room. And a room full of people doesn't happen by accident. It happens because someone designed for it. youtube.com/shorts/jvqZ_O8I8… #RaspberryPi #OpenSource #DIY #Makers #MakerCommunity

I solved the same CNC problem twice because I never wrote it down. Your AI assistant is only as useful as the context you give it. Documentation is the most valuable tool in the shop. youtube.com/shorts/Buy1Az9E1… #Workshop #Arduino #DIY #Makers #MakerCommunity

The flaw doesn't exist as knowable information until you build the thing that breaks. Version 1 isn't a failure. It's the only instrument capable of generating what you need to know. youtube.com/shorts/vyvkDrZPG… #Robotics #Engineering #DIY #Makers #MakerCommunity

153 versions of the same Fusion 360 shape. Not because she was bad at building. Because she hadn't needed it badly enough yet. The project is the curriculum. youtube.com/shorts/39KnFHQOp… #Fusion360 #3DPrinting #DIY #Makers #MakerCommunity

Cat armor is by far one of the coolest things ever. 😂

Mathematics AND a clicky display. A brand new issue of Raspberry Pi Official Magazine has arrived. Our favourite article within this month’s pages is a little left-field – we fell for all the Pi-related Easter eggs hidden in this build. raspberrypi.com/news/raspber…

If Kali is presenting this you know it's going to be good. :)
What if Flutter could automate the IDE itself? Kali- explores building a Flutter package that generates VS Code extensions — keeping developers entirely inside Dart. 🔗 eu1.hubs.ly/H0vHQ8y0 #Flutter #flutterConUSA26

After two years in NYC, it’s time for Fluttercon's next chapter: Orlando 2026! Lower costs, more space, bigger #Flutter community, & more importantly, more room to grow, & lower costs for attendees 💙 Thank you, #NYC — you made us who we are. See you #FlutterDevs in #Orlando.

That optimization was inside every ESP32 ever made. The charging cable is why nobody went looking for it. Constraints find doors that comfort never does. youtube.com/shorts/03zQNbgUO… #ESP32 #Wearables #Electronics #DIY #Makers

He designed an e-ink display. Then he picked up some wood and cord instead. Zero power. Looks better. Sometimes the tech answer just loses. youtube.com/shorts/nImiY3miz… #DIY #LowTech #Makers #Making #MakerCommunity

He built a triple monitor workstation out of a 6th gen iPod Nano. It can't send an email. I haven't been able to stop thinking about what we gave up when we decided it should. youtube.com/shorts/R7TtOKU4z… #iPod #Apple #DIY #Makers #IntentionalTech
