426: Equivalently Annoying

Elecia and Chris are back from vacation and catching up! Today's topics include: last week's burnout episode and what we learned, what is a PSoC and why would you want one, how to get up to speed as a junior engineer, and a few more side quests.

The burnout episode with Keith Hildesheim was last week, we encourage you to check it out, we learned some things about ourselves and maybe you will too.

Chris mentioned astrophotography and here's the link to the reddit post that inspires him to keep going: astrounding Jupiter video.

In case you missed it in the newsletter, which you should definitely sign up for, here's Chris' list of VSCode extensions:

  • AutoScroll - Have a log file open that you're monitoring? This extension keeps the tab scrolled to the bottom at all times.

  • Doxygen Documentation Generator - Quickly generate and pre-fill those tedious doxygen style comments.

  • GitHub Pull Requests and Issues - Make pull-requests or do reviews for Github right in the editor.

  • GitLens - Easily see revision history and "blame" for every line of code in a pretty unobtrusive way.

  • Header source switch - Ever want to switch really quickly to a C file's header (or vice versa)? This adds a keyboard shortcut to do just that.

  • TODO Highlight - Makes those millions of TODOs and FIXMEs light up in a nice neon color so you can't ignore them anymore.
