Fun backstory- it's because of projects like my keyboard that I got my first job in a full-IT company and my career actually started moving forward. I learned a lot by simply putting together my first keyboard and would highly recommend anyone to do so if they want to learn more as well.

My best friend years ago took me to his workplace and show me his ErgoDoxInfinity which was a splut-format. That got me interested in mechanical keyboards and I soon joined a reddit community. There, I learned many other people were deeply invested in the hobby. I also then learned how amazing and expensive it could be.

My first keyboard was a::
GH60 Satan pcb
Clear Gateron Keyswiches
Clear blank keycaps

I wasn't all that confident in making it myself, but I figured the worse case scenario would be that it would be a learning lesson. I _did_ end up having to resolder a few switches around as I had them in the wrong alignment.

I broke the usb-b port off a few times and had to improvise traces few times using leftover legs from used LEDs. Also had to replace a few resistors after having been dropped (all this overtime after initial completion).

Some skills honed::
-soldering/resoldering
-firmware flashing
-continuity and general component testing with voltmeter

Other skills can be exampled through it but those were the biggest takeaways in my interview. Though again, there are setups that allow a new user to not have to learn such in order to get started.

I have too many books on my to-read list... It grows faster than I can read!

This back n forth happens all the time on Facebook. Thank God I don't go on there.

I love little tidbits like this. Francis Bellamy was also a socialist. While he was hired to help sell flags to schools, which might seem hypocritical based on his politics, he seems to have also genuinely believed the Pledge would help unite working people of the time under a single banner rather than continuing to divide us based on race or nation of origin.

Doesn't anyone want to attend a metal concert with me? I mean, it's not like I'm asking for people to show up to a garage- it's fucking system of a down n other infamous bands.

Maybe I was reaching in out in the wrong direction?

Truly one of the few
"peace at the beach" moments very few people nget to enjoy...

Part of me wishes I could live beach side just so that I could live forever resembling a mock-up in of tranquility...

If only I were rich...
