Part 1; DIY
I love kits, i think it's the easiest way to learn basic stuff while keeping the fun in. I always look out there for cheap but reliable DIY kits. I wish tho that more of them will be available. I love that kids can learn stuff, but kits dont have to be childish like that. I think it's ok to make kits for grownups.
The price is usually high. i understand the complexities of making a DIY kit like always think about spare parts and detailed instructions and warnings about difficult stuff yeah. It's a lot of work. However i like the idea of DIY kit-kits a kind of barebone way of getting kits. Like a recipe website but just for Bill Of Materials and Instructions. I'm pretty sure that exist already.
I'm pretty sure it's called adafruit, hackaday or whatever.
Part 2; Job talk
I try harder these days looking for a job. And yeah. I also share some thoughts on mastodon.
I said:
I feel clueless at job interviews like, i'm simple, I just want to do something i like for a living. Nothing more. I know i can do this job because it's something i like to do.
I'll take a moment to comment this. I'm not special, i'm driven by interest and vocation. I like to work in something i like and i was trained for. I understand people saying "yeah but it'll kill the joy of doing it freely." Heard that, and i can just say "maybe" because a lot of people are maybe thinking "oh i can just have fun and make money and keeping doing stuff like that". I think you have to keep the mentality of doing things right like it's your job at the begining.
I dont need a 30minute lecture about "how i'll get a fuckton of money if i get selected" nor that i care about money but for real, i dont care about bonus, percentages, margin n being wealthy.
But it was truly kind to explain me this for sure. I studied Economy -a little. and uhh, i don't mind. i didn't needed that. but enlighted talk by someone's passionate about it, is always nice.
I just wanna repair bicycles -for a living. 💯 correct.
