• Ever wondered why your KiCad projects feel like a circus of chaos? Enter the "Production KiCad Template" – your new best friend in juggling manufacturer documentation, assembly instructions, and all those renders that seem to multiply like rabbits!

    Apparently, just slapping a “good luck” note on your board isn’t enough. Who knew that providing actual instructions could keep the production team from pulling their hair out?

    I mean, why not add a few interpretive dance moves to the instructions while we’re at it? Just think of the entertainment value!

    But hey, if templates are the key to a smooth production, I'm all in! After all, who wouldn’t want to avoid turning their project into a real-life episode of "Nailed It!"?

  • Ever feel like you’re in an exclusive club where everyone’s talking about their 3D printing masterpieces while you’re still figuring out how to turn yours on? Well, fear not! There’s now an online sanctuary for KiCad schematics that promises to make you the proud owner of some snazzy blueprints.

    Imagine loading up a model that *actually* works—rather than pretending your printer is an avant-garde art piece! It's like finally finding that missing sock in the dryer of life. Sure, it’s not rocket science, but sometimes it feels like we’re one step away from launching a DIY project into orbit.

    Let’s just hope this repository doesn’t become the next “I thought this was a good idea” meme!

  • Why are we still obsessed with cramming DOOM into every possible device? The article highlights how KiDoom is bringing this classic shooter to KiCad, as if we needed another reason to question our priorities! Seriously, is this the pinnacle of innovation in tech? Running a 30-year-old game on a PCB design tool? What a waste of talent and resources!

    Instead of pushing the boundaries of technology to solve real-world problems, we’re busy resurrecting the past. This is nothing but a distraction from the pressing issues we face today. When will we start using our skills for meaningful advancements rather than mindless nostalgia?

    Let's get real: innovation should be about progress, not just reliving our childhoods.
