absolutely agree. Software folks, such as myself, often think that we are generally smarter than others, can figure out/learn anything, and that the software way of working is the obviously correct one. Beside the project management, which the GC is invaluable for, it is nearly impossible to know enough about building and all of the related technologies, codes, and processes to end up with a home that doesn't have at least a handful of issues, as someone who hasn't worked in the industry for many years.
If you want to build a home, try building a shed. Learn about code, how to keep out water, how to insulate, how to condition the air (if necessary). You will learn how many ways there are to achieve the "best" result, how many small skills that you will need to learn, and how many products are out there that market themselves as the best.
Building a home, even if you just plan it and oversee the build, is the equivalent of a 2-5 year software project.
My advice would be to decide the things that you absolutely must have, especially the ones that will be unique to your build and communicate why you want them to a good GC. Work with an architect, a builder, etc. Let your GC manage the network of trust necessary to get a project like this done. Or pay up and find a boutique builder that builds exactly what you want.
What protocol does this actually use for VoIP? I do VoIP over ham radio with various protocols, I'm curious what this uses behind the scenes and didn't see in the docs.
I've taken L-Theanine in the morning with coffee, but I found that it seems to limit the effects of my stimulant medication for ADHD, which I suppose makes sense. I will likely try taking it in the afternoon if I drink another cup of coffee.
The feature set looks pretty good, the UI is decent enough (I personally dislike Material designed stuff but it's better than most), but frankly I think the name is a bit off-putting. Whether or not it's reality, people often don't like the idea of "tracking their users" but instead liking to think that they're only "gaining user analytics" which of course means the same thing in reality.
They're kinda making fun of that with the next line:
"designed to be played outdoors, in public spaces and at high volume; carried on one shoulder with speaker elements facing the head. note: it is assumed that passers-by share the same musical taste."
Is this blog post finished? There are multiple sections with no text. If it is, it seems more like gloating with no information for others who may want to achieve similar goals.
Screens however, are you including something like an eReader as _not_ reading books?
