As part of this year's #ArduinoDays2026 celebration, I'll be hosting a #workshop at @AHA, #AnnArbor's #community #makerspace! Join me as we learn the basics of #development with the Arduino #Nesso N1 and the #Modulino ecosystem. Then I'll help you create your own project such as a connected weather station, a digital tape measure, or digital dice. The first six registrants who attend this #free #event get to take home an #Arduino Nesso N1 and Modulino node! 🤘🩵🤘

Folks, I have a new video today where I'm very excited to announce a new dishwasher powder on the market.

Why am I so excited? Because it's vindicated every single one of my detergent opinions.

I've still never gotten into `fzf` (and maybe I never will!) but I think it's really cool that you can use a fzf 1-liner to make things like this little UI for reviewing git commits

(fzf stands for "fuzzy finder" but I think it's interesting that you can use it for many things that do not involve searching or finding at all!)

I need to be very clear, that the push towards "vibe coding" - that is, deliberately deskilling people - is because AI code assistants are an (increasingly expensive) subscription service.

If you know how to code, you can just write Python, C, Java, R, PHP, whatever for free and make things. You may not own the tools of production, but at least you're not renting them.

If you have been deskilled so you only know how to vibe code, you will be paying for that privilege forever.

This also goes, by the way, for researchers who are starting to be convinced they don't need to learn how to be scientists anymore, because "the AI" can just do the science for them. Nope.
