The right call but for the wrong reasons.

No matter how much I admire her and the rest of gang, nobody should have EVER tried to make Linux run on #AppleSilicon on the first place.

There is still a lot of work to do on Linux itself to try to upsell a Mac for free.

Mein Arbeitgeber sucht verzweifelt nach neuen Mitarbeitern, bekommt aber kaum Bewerbungen. #softwareDevelopment #hardwareDevelopment #SystemEntwicklung #Projektleitung

Unser neuesten Kolleginnen und Kollegen kommen aus 🇵🇱 Polen, 🇮🇳Indien, 🇪🇬 Ägypten, 🇪🇸 Spanien, 🇲🇽 Mexico.

Keiner soll bei ihnen Angst verbreiten oder sie deportieren. #noAFD

Wir wollen #Freundlichkeit, #Liebe #Frieden, respektvollen Umgang, #Willkommenskultur.

Just wrapped up the hardware development for the latest version of my wearable sensor device! 🛠️ Notable upgrade: a memory in pixel display for easy readability even in full sunlight.☀️

From the Oxide book list, Kidder's The Soul of a New Machine is a great manual on how to build / maintain teams and products. Essential reading. #teambuilding #softwaredevelopment #hardwaredevelopment

AllSpice Building A Hardware Development Ecosystem For Companies

In our "hardware development gets serious" news, we've recently learned about AllSpice, a startup building hardware development collaboration infrastructure for companies. Hardware developers are great at building hardware tools for themselves, but perhaps not always so when it comes to software, and AllSpice aims to fill that gap at the "hardware company" level. Nowadays, what commonly happens is that software development tools and integrations are repurposed for hardware needs, and the results aren't always as stellar as they get in the software world. In other words, AllSpice is learning from the positive outcomes of software industry and building a platform that takes the best parts from these tools, aiming to get to similarly positive outcomes in areas where currently hardware team experiences are lacking.

What AllSpice is building seems to be an umbrella platform designed to augment, integrate and hook into a slew of different already-developed platforms like GitHub, GitLab, Jira (and some other ones), and add much-needed features that large-scale hardware developers can't afford to maintain and develop themselves. "Design review by screenshot" isn't unheard of in hardware circles, and likely a thing that everyone of us with hardware collaboration experience has partaken in. On a company scale, there's a myriad of hardware-related problems like that to solve and polish over.

When trying to scale your project into a product, you might eventually find yourself in a team of people all working on the same hardware project. In collaboration like that, there's a simple principle - you need to have tools that improve communication among all the people involved, and having a platform that's hardware-tailored is paramount for that, especially when your product grows into a slew of different revisions and SKUs. Just like GitHub has integrations for compiling and testing your code when someone sends you a pull request, the tools we use for collaborative hardware development should keep track of our BOM, PCB and schematic changes in a developer-friendly way. If this project doesn't grow into a platform that us mere mortal hackers can use, we shall hope it at least it becomes influential enough to positively influence the tools we currently use for our hardware collaboration needs.

We cover collaboratively developed products every now and then, and there was even a "developed on Hackaday" series at some point! An ever-popular example of collaborative design project are conference badges, each one typically a fruit of many people's labor. Talking about the "growing into a product" aspects, an unexpected number of us hackers make a living from that, either through selling on Tindie or through otherwise going big with our products.

What are your hardware collaboration experiences? Any pain points you have discovered the hard way, either as a hobbyist or as an engineer?

Thanks to [Flagg] for sharing this with us!
