- jimmies 2y agoThe Chumby with its wiki and open hardware/software philosophy was so ahead of its time and so influential to me. I started my whole career with hacking the Chumby’s user space [1]. The Chumby inspired and took me from an IT worker in a regional public school, to being a professional software engineer, making software shipped to millions of very important machines. The lesson that I learned from the journey was that working with hardware can be fun and— if you want your career to be long-lasting— better be fun. The Chumby was one of the first devices that showed me that and bunnie was the one who showed me that. I still follow that principle to this day. No day in my life has making firmware or fucking around with hardware devices not something I enjoyed. 1: https://www.engadget.com/2012-05-31-developer-runs-webkit-on-chumby.html https://www.engadget.com/2012-05-31-developer-runs-webkit-on...
