Electronics for Everyone with AdaFruit's Limor Fried - Hanselminutes

[@BertrandLeRoy]

Limor is such a unique mix of engineer, entrepreneur, teacher and mentor. The density of information and instant insight are amazing. Loved the part about being driven by hate :D

[@adamjones9600]

I've listened to at least 40 or 50 episodes of Hanselminutes, and this might be my favorite episode so far. Limor was an absolute gold mine of engineering philosophy and together you guys truly embody what I love about engineering -- looking at systems and solving problems, in ANY form :D Big thanks to you both for everything you do!

[@mwonsil]

What a delightful episode. Thanks!

[@vijayaambitious7267]

I agree

[@proffieosultra3048]

Scott and Limor this is fantastic. Two of my favorite people in one spot is amazing. Thanks for doing this! Terrific!!!

[@proffieosultra3048]

Limor your dialog on Feedback Loops being important to CONSIDER in manufacturing (and other aspects of life, as Scott made clear) was inspired. I agree 100% that thinking about "what is the feedback loop im seeing here" is beneficial and fresher than most engineers think. They don't teach any consideration of that until much later in the educational system unless its a special area of study.

Awesome guest!

[@woojay]

Thank you for a great show! Great to see two of my heroes.

[@reelmccoyfx]

No idea why I watched this just now vs when it was release but SO glad I did. Thanks to people like you two that do vibrate around what you love, get creative and inspire. Never too old to learn and never too young to teach!

[@MasonWiseman]

Man, I wasn't prepared to have an existential crisis this morning, but here I am. Great talk and even better insights. Tons of good stuff to chew on. Thanks to the both of you all for doing this!

[@Krishna-zh3pw]

Such an amazing episode. So many interesting things to learn. Can't believe these things are buried deep down on the internet. Thanks Scott for organizing this.

[@cycnus]

That was lovely. I really like Adafruit and what they stand for. They put a human dimension into that otherwise dry (but exciting) subject that is electronics. Loved the show: nerd banter with interesting and eye opening content!

[@jmctoob2]

Two of my favorites!

[@KatieRosesDad]

Great Episode!!!

[@LearnQtGuide]

Great episode! Happy to be one of the 3 people that watched till the end. Also great tips on motivating and parenting tips. Really appreciate this.

[@HassanElMghari]

WOW. This is such a good podcast episode, so inspiring!

[@mceranski]

This was a great combination of speakers. Two people who understand programming and hardware at the lowest levels but make it relatable for everyone. I love the idea of feedback loops. I can't wait to apply this concept to my life.

[@randy4ii411]

Wow you guys are great.

[@ArnonDanon]

I realy enjoyed that show, Love the system feedback loop concept. When your system thinking course will come out ,this definitely should be a chapter/episode🙂 The face on 34:40 - priceless🤣

[@manolovalenzuela]

Absolutely loved this episode, loved the parenting advices of Limor :)

[@shipshupe]

Honestly a couple of my favorite people on the planet, of course I'm going to listen to them kibitz!

[@9rune5]

"Hate forking". :D I'm glad I stayed until the end.

[@DebdutBiswasOnline]

Awsome insights....

[@francisreidjr3788]

Amazing person

[@SamriBliss]

Thanks for discussing engineering paralysis- I suffer with it greatly. It helps to set up deadlines for yourself. I set up code reviews for my mentoring team.

[@profgallaugher]

Also, Scott - would LOVE to see you do a video on ramping beginners to use VS Code for CircuitPython. That'd be such a better environment than Mu, but there's no clear on-ramp. Still running into trouble getting the VS Code Marketplace CircuitPython to work.

[@PrafullKotecha]

Wow! I am glad I clicked on it and kept listening to it, while I work in other tabs, other windows.

[@codedresults]

20 minutes in just LOL'd at your tshirt Scott ;-D

[@alancourtney476]

Would like to use Adafruit products but are not affordable in South Africa.

[@jayhu6075]

What a great interview. Hopely more from this stuff, maybe a following guest so as from Rashberry Pi? Many thanks.

[@pdadey]

"Every project refractors" should be engraved on the door of any programming course/software project next to "Test test test".

[@uSlackr]

Great talk. To the point on Engineering paralysis - I once heard a systems architect say "Whatever tools you choose for your project, you will look like an idiot in 18 months - and tat was 20 years ago. Today its even worse. I feel like this feeds into the paralysis. "What new/cool thing can I use for this?" Ship & fix.

[@TorgeirFredriksen]

My mind is very much like Scott's, I have tried to teach those of my kids who are into computer engineering how stuff works from bare metal and up. What Limor Fried says really enlightens me though. Who cares how a transistor works? To me it was important, but I also remember I didn't care about the flow direction of ions and electrons in a P-N transition. So I guess today it's not important to even know about the architecture of CPU's to be a good programmer, and that is fair enough. One cannot know everything... This conversation between Scott and Limor was really interesting!

[@Brian-vs9sd]

Michael Saylor from MicroStrategy had a great story about minimal viable product. Why he chose to create his initial product in visual basic over C++

[@rubenb.molina6968]

ha! @ 38:18, hilarious! Totally relate when I see something that was one bad. The immediate feedback is that one is being a hater (I supposed L. Ada is admitting to as much), but the thing is: If there is a better, more efficient, and cheaper way to do something, while keeping functionality and quality, and you know about it, why wouldn't you?! Sometimes, the response is just, "If it's bad, I just wanted that way...". I say No no no...N.O.

Hate-forking - Perl books called it hubris. "I can do it better"
