As I’m putting the final thoughts into my talk for @crowdsupply.bsky.social #Teardown2026 next week, what do YOU want to know about the process of shutting down my business? I’m leaving a chunk of time for an Ask Me Anything, but would love some input beforehand! www.crowdsupply.com/teardown/por...

The last 2 sentences of that quote resonate for me: “I don’t want to be the person arguing with a robot, or wasting my time reading something that a real person couldn’t be bothered to write.” I have zero desire to interact with AI, I just want computers to deterministically do what I tell them.

More progress on designing a soldering kit badge this year for my femme/queer electronics camp. Compliments please, I'm very very tired and pushing super hard and could use them.
Somehow I completely missed when #teardown2025 talks went live - here's mine on navigating battery regulations. Bonus butts in one of my slides. 😏 Also, the CFP for Teardown 2026 ends on the 15th so get your proposal in! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwUG...
