498: To Consume Stickers

At the end of this week's show, Elecia reads a Winnie the Pooh poem as Cookie Monster death metal. Before that, Chris and Elecia chat about mental health, journaling, personal projects, and listener questions.

Please sign up for the Nordic Giveaway!

You can also sign up for the Embedded newsletter. Maybe now with job postings?

Elecia's journaling notebook is this one on JetPens (which is where she gets her nice pens and some of her stickers and washi tape).

From discussing some listener messages, we mentioned:

  • Matt Keeter's talk on debuggability in production where you don't have access to the system that is faulting (video and slides)

  • Letter boards (in the Adirondacks), see those in action here

  • Wokwi simulator is a great place to get more embedded experience without buying all the kits.

Christopher has said that there will not, definitely not, under any circumstances, be a whole death metal album of Winnie the Pooh poems. Elecia is practicing anyway.
