    > It probably would’ve been easier if I didn’t use Rust and just used the Arduino libraries, or if I used a different board. But I was really married to this blog post title idea

    Worth it, nicely done

    If you go to a bigger school, they have multiple graduation ceremonies. Split the rental amongst anyone who does not share a time slot with you.

    That’s what I did and people acted like this was a genius move. No, I am just broke.

    Living in the PE side of software, with its EBITDA and other metrics, poorly researched product initiatives, senseless firefighting, and toxic bro cultures, it's nice to be reminded some of the reasons I got into this. Thank you.

    > I thought about it but decided it looks pretty tacky. It looks like what kids would think of as a gaming PC and what boomers would think of as a seizure.

    Missed chance to be a school legend and initiation of a career launching arc.

      I think if designed in a way where it’s subtle when off/low and at appropriate times can be activated on-demand, that would be great.

      But to be in a crowd of people all dressed the same, all graduating as well, having a gaming PC on your head might be too much main character energy.
