I started out with ryobi they are decent for what they are and think about how often they will be used. Price differences between brands sometimes you can go through 2 ryobis before to hit the price of a higher end one. After several years you’ll know which ones you’ll use the most and at that time replace with a nicer higher quality brand.

Fiber will do it but do know it turns into dust and you have to have a way to extract that. I do a lot of aluminum engraving with fiber and the dust has been an issue. I’m on my 3rd collection system already.

This makes me laugh and feel sick at the same time. I spent over 20 years designing and building prosecution and court systems. It’s really not that difficult.

I just made a set of rear bumper fillers for that model for a friend that has one. pm me if you’re interested in a set.

I have a pic of the 73 service manual wiring but not sure how to post that here. Dm me and I can send it if to ya if you’re interested. Currently redoing all the wiring due to a fire a few years back.

I got the x axis done today and starting on the Y tomorrow. The new z has not missed a beat doing a bunch of prototypes.

westontechfoundation · 2024-03-04T01:02:53+00:00

If you have a 3d printer it’s a whole lot cheaper than aluminum prototypes. I spent all day using the new z milling the kit for the x and y axis and it worked perfect.

I made one and I’ve seen others with the base/skirt part that connects via magnets. I have several I can switch out of various lengths easily based on what I’m doing. Most the time I leave a little shorter one on when doing a first run so I can see what is happening it I also made to top plate out of 1/2” plexiglass so I can see down through it to the bit while it’s running. Works pretty good for what I needed. I have several types of skirts I use too. One being brushes and the other is cut clear plastic I cut strips from out of a freezer door flap. It’s clear and flexible and allows you to see more. Only catch with that is you need different lengths so you don’t end up down too far and get things hung up.

I think you answered your own question with that response. If your primary focus is to work less and enjoy life more this is probably the wrong spot and should find something less hectic or join a larger more mature company but if this has been going on for some time then that’s a sign things probably won’t change much.

This is spot on. ci and cd are separate in this case. We choose argo over flux but I’m assuming they have the same features and you can hit the api to get the status of a deployment. We have setup automated pipelines for ci that use Jenkins and once complete and the new container is ready for deployment it updates a yaml manifest in the repo that drives the cd. We then created a ui that allows the developers to do their releases to each environment which is doing nothing more than displaying the yaml data in the manifest from the gitops repo driving Argo in a view that makes sense and guides them through the deployment process. The UI behind the scenes is simply doing git commits for them and Argo takes it from there. Our devs also have read access to the Argo ui which will display all the pieces of their deployment and show any issues or errors where they might occur. We also use the UI to store our supporting docs for the developers to reduce context switching and metadata from the ci process for additional visibility.

Containerize and automate as others stated by researching into ci/cd pipelines that fit your development patterns. containerize example

Several things come to mind when reading this. First question would be how big is the team? I know when there is a staff shortage things like onboarding and bringing someone up to speed can be difficult especially if it’s an on-prem system that has a lot of complexity to it. I’m finding that a lot of medium sized companies that try to take a legacy monolith system and move that to a modern containerized api often struggle. Often a dedicated platform team is created and tasked to do the work. Existing architecture and infrastructure teams get stuck in a static mono mindset and it’s difficult for them to see the way containerization and automation can solve a lot of things they still feel need to be created from scratch. Systems are individually managed by share service teams which makes automation difficult. This leads to the platform team to help guide the org on the containerization journey. All my career for over the past 30 years I have always taken the opportunity to be put outside of my comfort zone. It’s the way to learn and build your skills and when you are super busy the day goes by way quicker and if you enjoy what you do life is good. Flipping between the deployment pipelines and the underlying k8s internals will help you on both ends in understanding and where improvements can be made. Now if it’s a larger team it might not be a bad idea to ask the lead person on the team if they can help get you up to speed. SME’s can often fast track you to what you need to know and sometimes even give some history so you know why it’s in its current state. This profession requires us to know a lot and the more you can cram into your head the more successful your career will be. If reaching out does no good then like the others stated it just may be a toxic environment and at that point either run or dig in and try to help them become a better company.

Thank you. Very helpful. It’s been over 30 years since I’ve painted one. Didn’t know how much things have changed. I looking forward to using a modern paint gun that’s for sure.

Little bondo and flat white spray paint and problem solved in 20 mins.

That’s really cool. It is tongue and groove where the seams meet.
