Build/Boost

I WANT YOU TO BUILD

@AlbertLath14811 It is definitely hard to be good at it

@build_boost Writing work instructions is the hardest part of the job. If they've nailed that, then you know you've got a good one.

You can always tell a manufacturing engineer who actually builds things because their work instructions actually make sense

@Dylan_Morri man

Same

@hardaway_cam @aphysicist @OmerCheeema Should be nationalized and systematically dismantled

I live in Eindhoven, ASML town. Heard this from folks inside... Over the years ASML promoted a lot of strong EUV people into architect roles, group leads, management tracks. Built up serious layers. Classic growth pain. Then McKinsey comes in , says cut the management layers to speed things up. So now those same high performers, real good EUV experts, who got promoted are the ones on the block. About 3400 roles targeted, mostly management. Half will be reassigned, rest gone. Big hit in Veldhoven/Eindhoven area (~1400), some in US. Unncertainty is high, unions talking, details probably land around April. At the same time, ASML is still planning massive growth. The new campus near the airport just got final green light from city council. Construction starts soon, phased build-out. Long term they talk ~20,000 new jobs in the region (first wave ~5k by 2028). And the layoff packages are subpar. Philips is also based in the same town. And they had layoffs due to serious financial issues last year. Their layoff packages were much better than what ASML is offering. What a way to kill tje company culture. Especially at a time when the company is printing money.

@aholtzma Correct. I used to do the same with stir straws and toothpicks to retune them after integration detuning

@build_boost It’s to tweak the inductors. These are small air core coils and they nudge the ends to adjust the inductance.

Fun fact: some ceramic filters are hand tuned with cactus needles

Just kidding we both know its just that entire list

Claude, cross reference the Forbes 30U30 list with YC investment and find all fraud. Make no mistakes

@kirv89 Honestly excellent idea

@build_boost I've bought Lego manuals to work to show the designers how work instructions should be laid out

Hello pulse radar

@blind_via Yeah you didnt miss out

@build_boost luckily I didn't have to, I only had to use on occasion. just enough to understand what that experience was like. If I just spent more time with it I would have eventually learned the advantages. it just wasn't necessary. so never did.

You KiCAD PCB lovers out there. You should show some appreciation to AutoDesk for killing Eagle by purchasing it. The community that currently loves KiCAD previous gave their hearts away to Eagle. I was there, all the entry level hobby beginner PCB guys wanted Eagle. not anymore

@timbot Sounds cooler than it was, i was just an android script monkey How i learned git tho

@build_boost > write software test automation for cell phone dev The ability to construct validation pipelines is becoming a very important skillset x.com/timbot/status/…

> cut my teeth in Quality Engineering and inspecting medical implants and tools > write software test automation for cell phone dev > permitting and estimating contracting projects > etched PCBs in my dorm cause EE school was boring and hands off > IC'd + directed R&D, design, manufacturing, and test engineering for mil/leo antennas and radio accessories > aerospace composites radome design and program management > what will he do next

@blind_via Yeah I found it very frustrating just.eventually got used to it enough to use

@build_boost I hated it so much. I couldn't figure anything out on my own. The approach to using software in eagle is just different. the ordering of selection vs action is reversed or something like that.

Absolute follower count is far less interesting than number of high follower/following ratio ppl follow you

@supersean415 Sounds interesting

@build_boost Very similar career tracks. Only major difference is semiconductor. Worked on capital equipment materials engineering... might be a good option for you. The QMS standards will blow your mind

@TuelTaylor I think whenever possible to facilitate yes

@build_boost This is honestly the best way. direct feedback loop. Less likely to just play the blame game when the other guy is yourself

@zackslab NG wasn't the first to discover this technology either.

This is your monthly reminder that congress gave @PeteButtigieg $2 TRILLION to fix infrastructure and nobody knows where the money all went. That’s 135 nuclear aircraft carriers worth of cash. Poof.
