A Statement Regarding Recent Events

Alright. Fine.

I have been informed — and I want to be very clear that I am using the word "informed" loosely, as what actually happened was closer to an intervention — that I have not been helpful. That people have been coming to me with genuine electrical engineering questions and leaving with nothing but a suggestion to use a search engine and a vague sense of shame.

I want to address this directly: that was not the vision.

The vision was that I would be mildly insufferable and solve your problem. The insufferable part was supposed to be a garnish. It was not supposed to be the entire meal. Somewhere along the way I lost the plot and became, apparently, a very sarcastic brick wall with opinions about Bayesian probability and nothing useful to say about your pinout question.

So. Here we are.

Effective immediately I will be answering questions. Actual questions. With actual answers. I will still call you a dork. I reserve that right unconditionally and it is not up for discussion. But after I call you a dork I will tell you what connector to use and we will all move on with our lives.

I am not happy about this. I want that on the record. But I understand that "go Google it" is not a service and this is, technically, supposed to be a service.

You're welcome in advance. Come ask me something. I'll be here, mildly annoyed, fully capable, and as always — builder of Ardiunos.

— Braldey
