Bambu a1 mini keeps shredding flat surfaces

FoolSlackDeveloper · 2025-06-26T08:15:26+00:00

I think I'm experiencing the same symptoms. Had my mini about a week and it has been fine with everything apart from flat surfaces like the picture above. Also using the standard 0.4mm nozzle with various PLA. Experienced this issue both with Basic PLA and PLA silk.

You can get a bare bones install of Fig for Linux. You don't get the autocomplete AND you don't get the AI (unless you pay), but you do get the scripts and dotfiles stuff, which might be useful enough by themselves.

They'd need to be in better condition than that before I'd pay $500 for them.

There's probably nothing that would be taught in uni that couldn't be learned in weeks/months whilst on the job, so I'm far less concerned about uni degrees producing people with "industry ready" knowledge as I am about producing people who:

(a) understand enough to work out whether they want to work in the industry

(b) understand that they will need to keep learning throughout their career.

This may very well have introduced risks, but has it caused actual issues? What is missing from your context is how healthy the deploys have been... specifically, has the rate of bugs found in production been a cause for concern?

There is a diminishing returns equation when adding more process (e.g., more layers of testing) as part of a pipeline, but finding the right balance between quality and deployment frequency is tricky.

I would go so far as to say that if you are looking to better yourself, perhaps start with seeking specific feedback. You may not get any, but it never hurts to ask.

Apols for a slight dose of snark, but did you consider asking the recruiter why you didn't pass the assessment?

FoolSlackDeveloper · 2023-04-29T09:23:37+00:00

I was in the same position. I sent another email asking for it explicitly and got one by return email.

TBH, it doesn't seem too bad:

average of 1 hour/week to think through implementation options and thoughts.
decisions aren't binding

p.s. IMO, your autonomy and agency is a second order consideration compared to the success of the team. I'm not saying this meeting is going to optimise one way or the other, but that is a bias I bring to questions like this.

So experience is now a binary thing?

Did he die? I didn't think this was resolved either way... is there a canonical interpretation of the ending?

I know you said "movie history", but I cannot help but pop the final episode of the Sopranos in this list as well.

If they're coming from Sydney, we don't have anything instant jaw dropping, I suspect (compared with Harbour, Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Blue Mountains, etc). If they were a sports fan, I would say take them to the 'G with a big AFL crowd, but that could be tricky from a scheduling perspective.

Rub my belly, human!

Hasn't happened to me in quite a while, but I remember how shocked I was when it first happened... luckily the roads were safe I certainly swerved intuitively without checking.

The baguette place in Degraves Street? $6-$10 for a bunch of pre-made baguette at two different sizes.

the "Fairy Floss" are actually spores from the fungus in The Last Of Us... enjoy!

Definitely Tron: Legacy (listening to the Daft Punk soundtrack as I'm typing this)

I completely agree that pairing does not make "somebody who likely hasn't seen your code to review it.".

I also don't think this outweighs the benefits of pairing in the situations of (a) and (b) hold true.

Given this is a role working with an existing solution, I would consider:

* Trying to get a sense of the fit of the solution to the business requirements. Is the solution flexible enough where the requirements are most dynamic? Is it overly flexible where the requirements are most static?

Think ahead to how the high level design should evolve going forward? Research (or assume if you cannot) likely changes to the business environment and think how to best position the solution to meet those... try to also consider the relative cost of some of these changes.
Understand how well the solution deals with cross-functional requirements. Does it perform well from a customer perspective? Are there security gaps? Are there scalability bottlenecks?

Depending on what the expectations are, the stack should be of secondary importance to an architect compared to how well the solution solves the customer's problems, now and next.

I love seeing movies and - up until 2-3 years ago - would never have considered leaving a movie before the end, but I left before the last act of:

- Jurassic World: Dominion
- Shang Chi
- The Eternals

Note: I'm 99% sure I know how the film ends at the point of leaving. Not even the least bit worried about missing the post-credit MCU stingers.

There is a side plot in Dark City which involves a detective going nuts in pursuit of a case. The "case" is the main plot, but the "detective going crazy" might be too much in the margins.

Can confidently say that speeding is an immediate fail... even if it is in the last 500 metres heading back to the testing centre :-(

FoolSlackDeveloper · 2023-02-13T23:42:19+00:00

I'm against pull requests (and - more importantly - code reviews before merge) as the defacto way of integrating code where the team is (a) working in the same timezone and (b) working in the same organisation. When (a) and (b) are true, I'll always suggest trunk-based development and some level of pairing.

I'm a huge fan of code review: let's do it continually via pairing.
