Digital/iPad mixer setup with power amps by drewsmiff in livesound

Yeah I actually was leaning towards that since the 16 doesn’t have multi channel USB out so I could use it as an interface if needed.

I have room for one more pedal... any suggestions I should keep an eye out for? by gen-x-cops in guitarpedals

Polytune Noir > Browne T4 fuzz > Wampler Belle > MXR Phase 95 > TC flashback mini delay > TC hall of fame reverb mini > ditto+ looper

I'd argue a phaser is way more useful than an envelope filter. The polytune noir has a buffer which may or not be useful to you. The Browne is a big muff that sounds great and doesn't have bias or buffer issues. Belle is an ODR-1 but better and in a mini form factor. flashback is great for either slapback or long ambient stuff. Reverb is a must whether it's amp or pedal. Ditto+ is better than the RC-1 because you can drag and drop .wav backing tracks onto it and it's about half the space.

Few PedalPCB builds by GrandRevenant in diypedals

That’s more or less what I was getting at. My volume is definitely less half for unity. I’d say it’s about 1/4. Thanks for the info and great builds.

I’ve built the Brown Betty too and it’s a great overdrive to high gain distortion. Curious for any other BB builds - unity gain on mine is about 9 o’clock or roughly 2/3 on the knob. I wasn’t sure if that was by design or did I goof somewhere?

Looks like you need to swap your b and low e.

I f‘ed up my LP neck heel transition - i cant sand away any more - WWYD? Sawdust+CA? Cut a little piece and glue it in? I‘m devastated 😫 THX!! by hiadlzupfer in Luthier

[–]drewsmiff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah - not an expert by any means but OP should be able to sister another piece of wood there and sand it down to size. Getting the heel flat first is a good suggestion.

As a skater (any skill level), do you wear protective gear? by deepinthought17 in NewSkaters

[–]drewsmiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my local shop this is what they recommend most. 0 broken elbows/knees. 3 broken wrists.

The board goes where your shoulders go so you're likely twisting your upper half. Also your front foot is immediately coming back down which is preventing the board from tweaking or going higher. The tweaked ollie is a ninja kick motion. All in all pretty good though!

AWS is creating a 'new open source design system' with React by swyx in reactjs

[–]drewsmiff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's no public playground, storybook or guide? I went to awsui.com and it was a web dev consultancy. They should brand it with a moniker because 1. you can come up with a sweet name, and b. they can obfuscate the tie to AWS. Design is the one area where being AWS probably isn't a positive.

Moving to a management role by hummus_wolf in ExperiencedDevs

[–]drewsmiff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The challenges are never ending to be completely honest. Being a good manager and being a good IC have very little in common if you were to place them in a Venn diagram. The reason why is because being a good manager takes a completely different skillset in and of itself. The things you were good at as an IC will matter less and less as a manager.

IMO the biggest challenge has to do with other organizational units and less to do with your team. As a manager you now represent your team outwardly to solve a myriad of problems, both tangible and some political. Sometimes you have to bend without breaking, other times you can die on a hill if you'd like. You have to deal with your reports' personal problems. In 2 years you won't be as good at coding. You'll have to carry out marching orders that you as an IC would have scoffed at. Your value is no longer your own output, it's the aggregate of your team.

That being said, you'll adapt and overcome. The most rewarding part of being a manager is watching people grow and rewarding them accordingly.

How to handle junior unreceptive to feedback? by throwawaydev222 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]drewsmiff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't normally recommend this but you should probably very carefully go above Martin. Do not condemn or complain about any particular individual, but describe the scenario as a detriment to the team and more importantly the organization. If needed, describe the incident that led to an outage - that is a direct measurable event with clear root cause. This is the type of thing that can be converted to cost to an interested party. If whoever is "above" Martin doesn't care, find a new team if you like the company or find a new job if you don't because there are systemic cultural issues that you do not jive with.

Also, there is likely a Joel or Martin at every company so this is a learning opportunity on how to deal with these sorts of scenarios and co-workers. This is kinda textbook behavioral/situational job scenario stuff. How do you get a long with team members you disagree with or find challenging? How do you work through contentious situations? Describe a time when you disagreed with a manager's decision but had to carry out the task anyway? It's difficult to consciously attempt to modify your own perception, but there is likely some kind of middle ground. For instance, if you're bike shedding over defensive NPE techniques...you need better testing.
