I do not go home and code after work. I have plenty of hobbies that all pertain to the outdoors (I call it balance). This quote stuck out:
"I once worked with a candidate at Google for a product manager role. During the interview, he started talking about how he kept chickens at his house. He was extremely passionate about building a door for the coop that opened and closed automatically to control the chickens’ movements."
I have 30 tomato plants in my backyard and was planning some automation around watering. It doesn't always have to include a raspberry pi even though I may go that route to monitor soil temp in the hot months. Filling up a 5 gallon bucket with water and compost and the right size holes can slowly drip feed the plants.
- seizethecheese 9y agoFor chickens specifically, you need to open and close the door to their coop every day. and make sure that they're all accounted for, or else they get eaten.
- mesozoic 9y agoWouldn't it be a little too late if they aren't accounted for?
- lm2s 9y agoMaybe not, a chicken might just walking around and not have returned to the coop. So you go and make sure it goes into the coop before night time. If you have a system that tells you if there are chickens missing from the coop, you can save some time by only going there if needed.
