The maintenance cost nobody budgets for is other people’s incompetence-hours spent decoding bad decisions, fixing shortcuts, and absorbing the friction of someone else’s corner-cutting. It bleeds your calendar and your sanity faster than any broken pipe. #software #engineering #management

@concretedog I have to say, I have both, but they not a connected acquisition.I have had taps from M2 to M20 for years before a 3D printer came into my life.I have also never needed to use a tap, of any size, with my printer (yet).
Fascinating. The hollowing-out of Western industrial capacity will take generations to reverse. I’m especially struck by the ignorance and short-sightedness of private-equity firms and finance-minded MBAs, who never read even this sort of accessibly-technical article, but imagine their spreadsheets tell them everything they need to know about every business in the world. Shameful.https://frontiermap.substack.com/p/the-us-imports-82-of-its-large-power#industry #deskilling #economics #engineering #energy #grid #greenenergy
In 2013 I wrote a cyborg character in "The Three Lives of Mary" (https://viewbook.at/TLOM) who could reverse her joints so she never had to turn around. Boston Dynamics just built exactly that. Amazing to see reality catching up! #SciFi #writing #engineering https://youtu.be/29ECwExc-_M?si=vhi6W25AH4Jcc3bx
