If the authors of computer programming books wrote arithmetic textbooks…

A programmer nowadays has to...

… write 100%-covering unit tests;

… set up continuous integration, linters, hinters, style checkers, …;

… follow style guides for every language;

… meet impossible deadlines;

… meet impossible management/customer/end user expectations;

… read through terrible code others made;

… read through terrible documentation others made;

… make terrible documentation him-/herself;

… fight with the IDE;

… fight with the build tools;

… deal with unreproducible crash reports coming in from everywhere;

… debug code written at 2am (by him-/herself AND others);

…

…

…

… KNOW HOW TO PROGRAM.

I needed a small breakout board so I used fritzing to quickly do the layout, flatcam to generate the gcode, and my cnc machine to make the boards. :)

Check out this great new Bluetooth board! It runs Espruino, a JavaScript interpreter that runs on microcontrollers and uses the new nRF52832 with Bluetooth 5.0. I like how it comes with some handy sensors, battery and enclosure, it’s ready to be used as a product straight out of the box!
