This is really neat! I was working on a project a few years ago to do something like this but then life happened. Glad to see others doing what I didn’t!

Ruby! It’s a wonderful language with a fantastic community, mature frameworks, and active development on performance and core features.

Hmm, I did the same upgrade on klipper but didn’t run into any extrusion issues like you described. I presume you cleared out your old config files? Is it possible there’s some cruft left over? Bad pin configuration or something?

I don’t think titles directly transfer between companies, and yet the industry allows it. It’s a very useful tool for advancement.

Time on the job does not equate to skill. Some jobs force you to figure shit out that other jobs simply never expose you to. Other jobs expose you to lots of busywork and that isn’t going to make you a better engineer either.

I’ve met senior engineers with 3 years that are significantly more useful than senior engineers with 10 years. Individual motivation and willingness to learn matter the most to me.

I have used the ladder to my advantage and advise others to do the same. It’s a game, you don’t win by not playing.

Neat! Thanks for sharing

Well, it’s been 2 minutes since you posted. Any updates?
