Failure Friday - Break something at the office this week? We want to hear about it!

  • Billed the wrong phase of a project
  • Dry air means static buildup, I don't think my 3v test circuit appreciated being a path to ground :'-(
  • I ran over a 3D printer with a forklift
  • Saw a customer supplied "napkin sketch" that stated 12'x12" (12 feet x 12 inches).
    • "I read it as 12 inches x 12 inches, product was cut to that size."
    • Customer was not happy
  • Sparky sparky boom boom

What to do to make your open source project more accessible - or more popular

  • Use popular tool chains and environments for ease of access
    • If the tool chain is not simple to install, offer a docker or really good instructions
    • Document your process and have someone test your instructions!
  • Cherish all feedback
  • If someone has a problem, do not say "works for me"
    • They may have found an edge case to fix!
