I’d read that blog post!

Thanks for the suggestion, I may do that next month if I can remember enough of the details!

What’s that like? Fun? Annoying? Interesting? Boring?

All of the above; being a mid-career IC/TL with visibility into actual outcomes in prod has organically matured a deep respect for boring technology---warts and all---especially when cumulative NRE is well into 10-digit territory.

I'll be glad when legacy support hits EOL though, if only for the indirect consequence of unambiguously seperating wheat from chaff as we embrace a new tech stack approaching stability. Although it isn't the case, it sure has felt like we've been operating like cost center baggage these past few years.

Love what you're doing, I'm in batch 4!

Feedback: That 4x slot looks like it's closed on the end. Can we get an open-ended slot there instead so we can choose to install cards with longer interfaces? That's often a useful fallback.

I believe it tops out at 128, of which 96 can be used as GPU VRAM. Hoping AMD will open the memory floodgates on the next rev.

110 with Linux, but 256gb/s memory bandwidth.

The M3 Ultra seems strictly better but is also significantly more expensive.

110! Good to know, thanks for the info.

I've often heard embedded is a nightmare of slapdashery. Any tips for finding shops that do it right?

It's not foolproof, but I've found there's a strong correlation between product margin and the sanity of the dev experience.

There is inherent complexity and self-inflicted complexity, they tend to go hand in hand but self-inflicted complexity can be exacerbated in bad projects. A lot of embedded software is just inherent complex, cars for example.

A lot of times it is, but it's not your fault. It's the fault of vendors and/or third party code you have to use.

I'm working on some server-side Swift, and it's feeling very promising. Any plans for a Swift client library?

Not in the immediate future, but we have a member in our community who's building something. We'll see if they get near the finishing line.

Good call. Django's admin site functionality was the killer app for me, so if I'm going to hop off Django to something else then I'm going to want to compare that feature closely.

Sounds like you could write a series of blog posts I’d like to read!
