It’s amazing how an extremely minor software change can cause unforeseen issues…

Spent 10+ hours over the last few days tracking down a bizarre I2C issue that appeared seemingly out of nowhere on a project. Assumed it was due to a tweak I made in a PoE driver that was on that I2C bus. But, turned out to be due to forgetting to initialize a struct to a known state in what I thought was an unrelated driver I was rewriting, which caused a pin to be initialized incorrectly. 🤦‍♂️ #DeveloperProblems

Spent multiple hours this afternoon/evening debugging an issue that turned out to be caused by simulated data that was too perfect… caught a legitimate software bug, so glad it happened. But man, that was annoying…

Happy #IndependenceDay to all of my fellow Americans! 🇺🇸

Hello all! I’m a software engineer from the US, specializing primarily in C for microcontrollers, with some dabbling in C++ and Go.

Outside of software development, I enjoy reading, music, and all things tech-related. I’m slowly moving into the Linux/FOSS world, one step (or app) at a time.
