I have a job offer tomorrow, my first ever. I've been looking for a job for 3-4 years, and in that time I've built up pretty much every emotion in the emotion wheel on top of the event of "getting a job". My brain is going a bit haywire.

Years of postponing feelings, worries, and problems to 'when I get a job', always thinking that it was something that was just around the corner, are finally catching up to me.

I can't properly process and believe that it's actually happening until I get all the details tomorrow, so part of me is still going 'ah, what if you're feeling all these things and then you end up not *actually* getting the job.

Anyways, send emotional strength and good luck 😅

@AmpBenzScientist i haven't examined exactly what this chip supports in terms of transferring data that isn't audio to or from the codec, which happens via DMA. the experience of programming this thing feels more like a uC with DSP features than programming a pure DSP that can only do stuff like MAC and pseudo-branch instructions.

don't end up like him

"fuuuuuuck"

my virtual analog synthesiser is getting bigger now, because i'm past the proof of concept phase and fleshing out an architecture for it.

i liked transformers as a kid. you liked Transformers as a kid. we are not the same.

talked to a friend today about maybe designing a stage keyboard, but it's me who knows how to do that stuff, so he'd have to fund prototypes. and he's not independently wealthy, sooo...

👍

this resurgence of everything analog and 8-bit wasn't something i expected. you shouldn't underestimate the power of childhood nostalgia, i guess. i have a lot of knowledge about how all of that stuff works and could easily design new electronics that makes use of it. i had just never expected there to be a market for something like that, but now there is...
