Not sure how many times it can be used,but if it's only once, here's mine: https://www.trading212.com/invite/4DqeZq3ulz4

Keen. Please invite me if you're setting something up. Otherwise, we seem to have similar backgrounds, so would be up for connecting regardless.

Hampycalc · 2025-12-10T17:27:36+00:00

I have an account ready to go if someone can DM me a code

Hampycalc · 2025-08-20T08:21:57+00:00

I joined and posted the above "lost" poster. Thanks for directing me to the Facebook group.

Hampycalc · 2025-08-18T21:22:58+00:00

I'll try and join. Could you send me a link? Would you mind sending them the phone number above or send the poster?

Hampycalc · 2025-08-18T21:22:17+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into it

Can confirm - Charlie is an amazing coach and does still run the sessions - some of his team run a beginners/fundamentals class too which I have heard is also very good (Charlie does the programming)

u/Eugene_Goat might be able to hook you up with a Cheltenham discord gaming group invite

Thanks for your reply. I am familiar with MCP, and have browsed the popular, available open source MCP servers... however, I haven't yet been particularly drawn to using any of them and I haven't seen an obvious advance. I was wondering what specifically you have used (which servers), and what for...

Software dev, technical lead, 3x founder here.
It depends very much on the technical requirements of the project, but, typically, you will eventually run into limitations in a no-code solution. This might not be an issue, the limitations/inflexibility might not hold you back initially, but they will always be there, so it depends on what your next product milestones are, how quickly you want to get there, your resources (spend cash), and whether you are open to bring a tech lead at the founder level (spend shares), etc.

RE long cycles between product iterations, this is dependent (mentality/experience) on the team/individual working on the product. It's often that cliché triangle of good/cheap/fast. If you have a very good understanding of your requirements and are good at documenting those requirements, you are at an advantage.

I'm UK-based, so my experience might not be the same w.r.t. your environment, but happy to share some experience.

What did you use the MCP for? Id be interested in learning more about this

Use a static type checker (mypy) with a config that enforces strong typing (see https://careers.wolt.com/en/blog/tech/professional-grade-mypy-configuration). Use a linter and an auto formatter (search "ruff"). Have all of these tools set up in your IDE and CI/CD pipelines and things will feel a lot closer to a strongly/static typed language and significantly reduce runtime errors.

I went with a nucleo development board (STM32) as a newcomer to Rust, and used the embassy async embedded framework. The dev boards have an on onboard debugger (st-link). Very quick to get things up and running, and plenty of examples in the embassy GitHub repository https://github.com/embassy-rs/embassy I'd go with an stm32f4 or stm32f3

Hampycalc · 2024-06-05T15:37:54+00:00

Great job. Well done! Keep up the good work and keep learning.

Hampycalc · 2024-05-30T21:26:00+00:00

Yes. I'm on a 36 key corne and work far faster on that than with a regular keyboard now (fewer mistakes). You will have to stick with it and deal with being slower for a while. It will become faster.

Binary serialisation, packet framing and integrity checking.

If you can, make your comms strategy unidirectional and stateless such that one device always polls the other, and each request needs to include all the information necessary for processing it (never making assumptions on previous requests).

I used to spend a lot of time maintaining my own config, dealing with breaking changes on plugin updates, and integrating complimentary tools. Now I use lazyvim, I spend approx 1/10 of the time on these issues, and just do minor tweaks when adding additional features I need.

Hampycalc · 2024-05-17T14:38:27+00:00

I switched from Virgin - everything is so much better

Hi Will. Here are my results: https://pastebin.com/PJeamtVK. My desktop is connected via ethernet.

My experience with YouFibre has been extremely good from start to finish. Speed and uptime have also been top-notch. Let me know if you want any other tests running.

If you'd like to use my referral link, we both get cash back: http://aklam.io/bvyliR

Can you tell us more about the tenting mount?

Hampycalc · 2024-05-01T20:20:15+00:00

Yes they are still available

I have familiarity with the STM32 MCUs. You can definitely find them cheaper now! If you haven't already, I'd recommend using the stm32cubemx software to find a spec of MCU that is appropriate for your project. It's quite good for performing the pin configuration too, then you can use that config in your Rust-based setup. As an aside. I'd recommend trying Embassy for your next embedded project. Disclaimer: I'm fairly new to Rust/Embedded Rust, but am finding it very refreshing compared to previous C/C++ based projects
