Huh, that's pretty cool! How much of that behavior did you need to roll yourself vs what was already there?

Certainly load bearing, great call.

You won't be able to upgrade it, but it is at least moderately repairable.

A book certainly worth reading for anyone who hasn't. It's interesting to see how little common (modern) project and management pitfalls and tricks have changed in 50 years!

Did you get a chance to try the original Pixel Fold? Definitely not small like an iPhone 13 mini, but smaller than contemporary devices by a good bit!

I've enjoyed using a Moto razr+ 2024. If you're interested in trying one check out used devices, their value seems to crater. I think I got mine for ~$300 last year on eBay (while it was still the current gen device)

Same. It's very handy to be able to ask for one-off tools for things that I _could_ try to figure out, but probably wouldn't be worth the time. My favorite example so far was a Python script to help debug communication between a microcontroller and a motor driver. I was able to dump the entire datasheet PDF for the driver into Gemini and ask it for a Python CLI to decode communication traffic, and 30 seconds later it was done. Fantastic bang/buck ratio!

Interesting, I'm fairly new to using these tools and am starting with Claude Code but at the $20 level. Do you have any advice for when I would benefit from stepping up to $100? I'm not sure what gets better (besides higher usage limits).

Love Memfault, very happy customer. Hopefully this is a great exit for everyone and a great future for the products.

That's definitely true! But if both are in one app you don't need to remember who uses Signal and who doesn't; it just works. Now with two apps, you have to run that mental check before sending a message and choose the right app.
