Testing, Testing.. But Why!
I’ve managed to stay away from ‘after-work’ programming since my laptop drive died more then a decade ago.. with all my photos, hobbies, tinker ideas… I think the silver lining was that I spent far more time hiking instead!
I bought a Prusa MK3S+ some 10 months ago, which, as one pedantic observer might note, is still not a ‘after-work’ programming hobby. How little did I know…
3D Printing is a gateway drug. First you get a printer… then you realize, SD cards? thats so last decade.. oh, Octoprint.. interesting. Ah, and Raspberry pies are so low effort, I should use them more! Hmm, but.. “wow, these prints take all day!? and wow, its so easy to mess up and end up with a blob of death”.. Oh, just need a camera and Spaghetti detector.. hmm but image recognition is too much for a poor pi, need to offload..”
Then stumble on pihole.. and homeassistant.. and esp32.. and esphome.. and nrf51.. and finally..
Gateway drug indeed.
