I need to remember to not take you seriously at least 50% of the time 😜

I spent a long time staring at this trying to figure out if this is real. Is this some German baking tradition??

I’m doubtful because the pic looks genAI to me (logo is not correct, whole image feels soft). And also because I can’t say that dill dough sounds appetizing to me πŸ˜…

Hear me out… one giant pizza bagel?

Oh, regular reminder: we're about to start the awkward weeks where US and EU (and probably other) daylight savings time don't agree.

Double check your usual meeting times this week, especially if the person that scheduled it is in another country!

Bagels pt ???

Fun fact: bagel dough is basically the same as pizza dough, and one batch of dough could yield:

- 8 bagels
- 4 pizzas
- 4 bagels and 2 pizzas (the best of both worlds!)

Join the Nerves Discord Server! Nerves is an open-source platform that combines the rock-solid BEAM virtual machine and Elixir ecosystem to easily build and deploy production embedded systems. https://nerves-project.org/ | 207 membe...

I gotta say, the Nerves Discord has been an awesome flurry of activity in the last ~3 weeks since it launched.

I love that we now have a really cool community space for everyone to ask questions, share stuff and hangout. Generally just good vibes

This project has grown quite a bit since the #Goatmire name badges. A bigger and better display, hardware improvements, expansion opportunities and more

We also spent a lot of time asking ourselves how the hardware can best support various stages of the Nerves learning curve.

The Nerves Starter Kit prototype (right) and the Goatmire name badge (left). The starter kit screen is 50% larger, with higher resolution. They're running the same software, but the starter kit text is smaller due to the higher resolution

I had the pleasure of revealing some of the latest updates for the Nerves Starter Kit project last night at the monthly @nervesmeetup.eu! There were some really good discussions, and I definitely woke up today really energized from the feedback we got :)
