Ugh jesus, I thought it was bad enough wanting to try to salt away a few 20B cores for future race car use...

That seems pretty reasonable, honestly. Like, yeah there's a lot of stuff there, but given what you can make the sucker do, that seems logically laid out.

Thanks. I don't have any background in programming.
Just guidance with where I work, but I've hit a hard growth wall and have been looking elsewhere, out of the industry, but trying to convince hiring managers that motorsports stuff can translate over to things like PLCs or automation is like, impossible.

That's got to be a lot more daunting then; kudos.

In fairness... like, looking at that, I haven't seen a PLC that's programmed like that. But it's ... I dunno, you know all the weird crap I'm doing? I feel like when I start explaining it to hiring managers, even if they understand what I'm talking about they think I'm full of poo poo.

I know your project is balls deep. I need to catch up on your thread.


I'm... going off on yet another tangent this week (actually a planned tangent though!) and should have more interesting stuff to post this weekend. And it's finally thawing out here which means I can take the trailer to get steel soon.

But yeah, I just hate getting-hired culture. Like, as you might imagine I don't fit into any convenient HR boxes; the fact that my whole career is basically about "quickly learning how to do something to solve a problem" doesn't count for anything when "oh, you don't already have this skill we want _right now_"
