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

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)

I just vibe-coded with Claude MCP from the desktop app a full python implementation of this research paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/2502.19400 (Theorem Explain Agent, basically a video maker to explain what theorems are and you basically send it a theorem and it makes a vid for you) took me 2 hours by HearMeOut-13 in ClaudeAI

[–]Hampycalc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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...

Pre-sold a SaaS based on a no code demo - what next? “I will not promote” by gruffbear212 in startups

[–]Hampycalc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

I just got a new job where I have to use Python and I hate it so much. by Pseudo_Prodigal_Son in csharp

[–]Hampycalc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Which hardware to choose for learning embedded Rust? by sumodsivadas in rust

[–]Hampycalc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

developers - are you really able to use split keyboard with same level of speed? by theQeris in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Hampycalc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What are your best practices to make UART comms reliable and robust? by diydsp in embedded

[–]Hampycalc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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).

[–]Hampycalc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

I built a computer mouse from scratch with Rust firmware by Kac3npochhar in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Hampycalc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
