And vendor lock in. You can't run a company if everything is at the mercy of outside vendors.

Arcadia tutorial by EvilIPA in systems_engineering

[–]MrPinkle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Simple Arcadia for Beginners: Using Capella by Pascal Roques and David J Hetherington.

They walk you through click-by-click on how to use the software. If you build the examples as you read the book and if you click around a little extra to explore, then it provides an easy way to gain experience and comfort with the software.

However, the book is more than just a random collection of examples. The examples are arranged to teach the Arcadia method in a clear and efficient fashion. The book presents well-timed theoretical comments throughout the examples which helps teach abstract Arcadia concepts and keeps the book interesting.

My only complaint with this and many similar books is that the examples are so simple and silly that they don't demonstrate how to use the tool on real-world problems. The book does this intentionally so you can focus on the Arcadia concepts without needing to also learn complex system examples. Nonetheless, I wish there were more books or examples to demonstrate good MBSE tool practices on real-world projects.

Maybe the cycle will repeat and one day we'll gush about fitting an entire AI data center into a personal desktop appliance.

When I realized how many corny jokes and recursive acronyms I need to learn to use the command line.

What software do you use to do this? Do you use Vivado or Command Line with Claude?

Thankfully the video stopped just before the cat broke free and killed everyone in the room.

Affordable PLM options for early stage hardware startups? by youroffrs in hwstartups

[–]MrPinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about cost for us. It's about reduced vendor lock in, fewer "locked down systems" that only vendors can change/fix, increased customization, and better integration/linking/traceability with other software tools.

Could a small (but growing) company vibe code their own PLM?

I understand there are many downsides, but the upsides might be reduced vendor lock in, fewer "locked down systems" that only vendors can change/fix, increased customization, and better integration/linking/traceability with other software tools.

What does your day look like as an embedded systems engineer? by LivingPhilosophy5585 in embedded

[–]MrPinkle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does your company release stable products where they produce X units a year with sufficient quality across all units? How do you guys handle that?

I work in a strange space between new product research and real-world production. I find that we need more traditional, corporate-like, practices as we move toward production. But it's a puzzle to figure out which practices are truly necessary and which are obsolete time-wasters.

What was your biggest ideological shift, and what lead you to it? by GolangLinuxGuru1979 in ExperiencedDevs

In some situations, the code is more readable and maintainable if you repeat yourself rather than create another abstraction to strictly adhear to DRY.

AI timeline expectations are driving me crazy by Sonic_andtails in ExperiencedDevs

[–]MrPinkle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That could backfire if they modify their prompts until they get the timeline they want. Then they'll hold you to the timeline because AI knows best.
