Why is stuffmaxxing never about friendmaxxing, do good maxxing, be nice maxxing?

We see a lot about looksmaxxing, swolemaxxing, but where is the nice stuff maxxing?

Idea for helping beginners (free)

Hi all

I had a thought I'd like to bounce off y'all. I see a number of beginners who run into a common problem of misidentifying pins or reversing pin layouts (e.g. front of board vs back), or swapping I2C/SPI pins

My idea is to have a diagnostic firmware which sends an easily identifiable signal out on each pin like a UART framed ascii text of the pin ID ("GPIO-13 SLC" for example). This would show up easily in any pocket logic analyzer.

Alternatively a pulse sequence which could drive an LED in a particular easy to recognize pattern.

Obviously this would not work for e.g. PWM modulated servos or any other active peripheral, but they're generally single pin anyway.

I've been using something similar to check my pin mappings.

What do you think?

Hey folks,

[AI was used during the development of this project]

Wanted to share a small side project called Stormchaser. It’s a distributed workflow engine built in Rust, and I’m looking for some unfiltered feedback on the architecture.

I built this to be my dream workflow engine for devops use cases. Whilst there are many great ones out there, I always wanted a slightly different mix of features and architecture.

The architecture splits into three parts:

* a Rust control plane for state,

* NATS for the persistent event queue,

* and environment-specific runners (like K8s or Docker) handling the actual execution.

For the workflow definitions, we went with a DSL in HCL as most devops people know and (love?) it. It just makes the logic cleaner and more predictable when defining infrastructure-adjacent tasks, and is less prone to indentation issues, plus existing tools like treewalker and fmt work with it.

This is my first release of a project so please feedback anything I've got wrong and any features you would like to see!

Thanks!
