Hackaday

It normally sits up here.

It's an electronic list I have on my computer with all sorts of things that I'll be like on Hackaday, for example, going, oh, that sounds interesting.

Wouldn't mind trying that myself.

And I'll write in there.

Science.

Hello, and welcome to the Hackaday Podcast.

I'm Elliot Williams.

And I'm Tom Nardi.

This is episode 391, Tuned into ESP32-SDR, New Old Pagers, and Bugs on Mars.

This week in Hackaday news...

Take it away, Tom.

Through the magic of podcasts, by the time you hear this, right?

...

the Hackaday article that links to the GitHub.

This is-

What else do we wanna talk about?

Because if you're used to doing it in-house, you start to hire people who do it in-house, and then you're more likely to continue doing it in-house, even if it doesn't make sense with your core competencies that you're trying to build and, like, what your techno-economics are telling you.

So it's like, as an engineer, I, I, I actually just recently gave, um, a s- um, a talk about this, um, at the Hackaday conference, and a lot, a lot of the listeners were engineers, and I kind of ki- brought this, uh, perspective to them, being like you might look at this, and you might hear me talk about these things, and you're like, "Ah, that doesn't matter to me.

I'm not a founder." It's like, no, actually, like, these decisions, these things kind of percolate in the engineering part of the, uh, the organization, and then they don't get caught until way later.

And then it's kind of like the sunk cost fallacy.

All right, um, Jeff has a story coming up, and, uh, I'm gonna turn it over to him.

I do have to say, um, I do get paid by Hackaday.

Hackaday is owned by Supplyframe, and Supplyframe is now owned by Siemens, so just full disclosure there on where I'm at with this story.

I don't think it's gonna change my opinions on anything, but, uh, you know, for journalistic integrity, wanted to throw that out there.

All right, Jeff, take it away.
