This weekend I learned how to cast bronze inside carved cuttlefish bone. This ancient metalworking technique has been around since the 6th century BCE (at least!) and produces objects with organic, unique features. Any weekend you get to play with fire is a good weekend 🔥
The very worst, most sexist and by far the rudest behaviour I've experienced in my career in tech has all been at #FOSS events and on FOSS mailing lists. Open hardware and open silicon communities are a breeze in comparison. Sort yourselves out, yeah? You're embarrassing the rest of us.
