Prepping For Hoverboards - Gallionic GitHub Gabble

The Amp Hour · 31 Dec 2014 · 1h 22m · Episode 230

What this episode covers

Chris Gammell of Contextual Electronics and Dave Jones of EEVblog discuss the shift in electronics design from discrete component building to using integrated solutions like the LTC2983, and the importance of iterative, non-linear development workflows. They critique the limitations of rigid project management tools like Gantt charts, advocate for the use of version control systems like Git and GitHub for hardware collaboration, and debate the merits of PCB design software, specifically criticizing Eagle while considering KiCad. The conversation concludes with advice on the importance of professional presentation, such as spelling and grammar in resumes, when applying for engineering jobs.

    Version Control Techniques

    Jeff Gable and Luca engineer discuss version control strategies for complex embedded software, debating the merits of monorepos versus multi-repo architectures and the use of feature flags versus long-running branches for managing product variants. They emphasize the importance of continuous integration, automating build pipelines, and treating documentation and infrastructure as code to manage the inherent complexity of hardware-software coupling. The conversation also covers code review bottlenecks, advocating for pair programming and strict rules to prevent technical debt accumulation.
