placed 3rd in @zoodotdev’s makeathon with my foldable drone rotor this was my first contest of this kind, so being recognized among more than 60 other incredible entries really means a lot now i’m already thinking about what to make first with my new 3d printer

Hiring chronically negative people as early startup employees is a self-fulfilling prophecy, and the biggest non-obvious hiring mistake.

found flying whales, a startup exploring new use cases for airships they’re developing a 200m airship to carry up to 60 tons of cargo no idea if the economics will work out, but aviation would be pretty boring if nobody tried stuff like this

during my trip to the bodensee region, we often saw zeppelins flying overhead airships are obviously an old concept, but they’re still incredibly impressive to see in person makes me wonder if startups will be able to find niche use cases where they can become viable
