493: Put the Peeps in the Chili Pot

Elecia and Chris talk with each other about the state of Chris' mind, what makes an embedded developer stand out, "LEGO block" based design, unit tests, and astronomy. Whew!

Elecia was recently on the Changelog podcast, talking about the world of embedded systems.

Chris has been working with Micropython (we talked with Damien George about Micropython on episode 456). He's using a Pyboard to start, but is looking to move on to this board from Sparkfun. Wikipedia has a nice reference on what the pulse-per-second signal is all about.

Elecia talked about her experience using CFFI to drive unit tests. She also talked about some facts from Information is Beautiful.

Chris' telescope is the ZWO Seestar S50. There's also a smaller Seestar S30 now which has a wider field-of-view.

Title reference (Chris and Elecia both thoroughly enjoyed The Good Place, the TV show this is taken from.)
