	Description:		We resume our discussion of “specialist” vs “generalist”, as discussed many other times on the show. We started out talking about how Chris recently hired Bilal, who is a great developer focused on Zephyr. We discuss how that kind of focus can be useful to a young developer. Chris was first exposed to Zephyr on the BeagleConnect, a new IoT product that uses Greybus coming from the BeagleBoard.org foundation soon. Past guest Greg Davill – MJ of home assembly? 10x engineer Book recommendations: Ultralearning Mastery First 20 Hours Anti-Recommendation Range Tom Brady talking about his improvment over time Michael Phelps (long arms, swimmer) vs Hicham El Guerrouj physiology (long legs, distance runner). Chris later realized this was discussed in James Clear’s Atomic Habit book. Nick Yarris on the Joe Rogan podcast Should we have called the episode, “Chris and Dave talk sports”? Next week we’ll have Jay Carlson on to talk about his recent tome on building Embedded linux systems, ask your questions here. Jay also wrote The Amazing $1 microcontroller Chris used the “Send to Kindle” Chrome plugin to read on his Kindle Jay has been on two great episodes of Embedded.fm, 226 and 303 The $1 micro page is how Chris started working with the EFM8LB1 Raspberry Pi 4 Compute was recently announced It is on an 8 year cycle. No one wants to get a “Last time buy” notice, espeically when designed into an industrial scenario. Baremetal programming on the TinyAVR 0 Chris was surprised Dave hadn’t heard of a “long range radio power transmitter“, but apparently it’s an older article! Bare Conductive (where past guest Stefan Dzisiewski-Smith works) wrote about how they have maintained an office, albeit changed in the era of COVID Dave mentioned Altium used to have “half cube” (low walls) but not like the startups do with a truly open office plan. WeWork has glass boxes Dave is downsizing commercial property “Does this DMM bring me joy?” a la Marie Kondo Both Dave and Chris downsizing Dan Anderson, the creator of the pink polyethelene bags, talks about static (content warning: not PC) 345 kV substation and 34.5 kV substation reviews Thanks to our Patrons for sponsoring today’s episode.
