Investigated ways to mitigate our approaching shortage of device cases
We’re selling devices faster than our 3D printing vendor can manufacture cases
Bought a $5k 3D printer
It no longer made sense for our 3D printing vendor to buy new printers for us since we’re switching away from 3D printing in a few months, so the best option was to buy our own printer, which our vendor agreed to own and operate, and then we’ll sell it used when we’re done.
Continued getting quotes from other 3D printing vendors who can supplement case production
Held three 1:1s
Met with a designer about potential work with TinyPilot
Continued speaking to 3PL vendors about migrating fulfillment
Started to try Pilot as a contractor payment platform
I haven’t liked Deel or Remote, so I’m hoping Pilot is a better fit
Debugged an issue with balena Etcher on our office computer
It turned out the software was out of date. I updated it and then it introduced a new bug. Fixed the new bug.
Finally cleaned off a bunch of case prototype stuff that’s been covering my desk
The idea is that if you have a project you want to build/serve on an ephemeral VM, vessel will spin up a Fly VM for you and sync files from your local directory to the remote VM
Sort of like Github Codespaces?
It sounds cool, but I’m running into a lot of bugs trying to take it for a spin
