I doubt that many data centers or enterprises are interested in building phone clusters. I hope that this project will produce something that homelabs and self-hosters can build with 3D printers. That seems like the most probable end consum

I supervise the contributions that juniors make to our codebase. To do this effectively, I use three tools: 1. Scoping. I give juniors projects that are big enough to be valuable, but not so big that they get lost. 2. Instruction. I give ju
