Post a backend dev job and normal people will apply to it. Post a frontend dev job and 1,000 wannabe Iman Gadzhis will offer to help on a 15k/mo part-time-remote contract while they also work 5 other jobs. Zero real applicants. Odd.

According to some back of the napkin math a Samsung S25 Ultra's camera would get 27m GSD from a 500km LEO orbit at maximum optical zoom or 1.38m GSD at maximum digital zoom. 1.38m GSD FROM A PHONE! I know it's digital zoom but thats insane. Can someone please fly one of these?

A side-effect of starship and reduced launch cost is the shift towards inefficient, cheap single junction solar panels These companies are now everywhere selling 15% efficient panels for 100x the terrestrial rate Make triple junction cheaper, don't give up and move backwards!

Made a physical prototype of the sheet metal pen. V4 will be just a tad longer, but overall it feels nice.

The goal of every space startup is to climb the tree - from cubesat tech demo on the bottom, to cake-topper telescope. Dove becomes Pelican becomes Legion. But I'm not so sure that bigger is always the answer.

The pen rabbit hole continues. I'm learning so much about designing sheet metal in fusion. V2 is actually designed parametrically. Turns out you can't make cuts in the flat pattern and expect them to show in the full design. Cleaned up the sections which hold the bic pen…

I got a nerd-sniped away from writing a conference paper this weekend... Now it's time to write the whole thing in 24 hours.

I will be spending the whole weekend writing an entire conference paper from scratch. Wish me luck.

Endurosat's flash sales are the funniest thing ever because this is a VERY legitimate aerospace company doing a Macy's type sale. I still remember their legendary Christmas sale

Alba put together a list of 10+ open source PocketQube designs. This is by far the best resource I've seen on the subject and a gold mine for hobby projects.

Can I talk to it from another satellite in LEO? Could be a huge inter-satellite link play.

EO companies are obsessed with pretending their satellites are white or silver. At some point we decided that white was the color of space and future technology. Yet the real versions are typically darker-colored so that they don't fracture from the cold.
