The brief history of HW lab in Edhouse
The Lab. It has become a central point in my business pitch. The simple fact that a bunch of SW developers have a whole room dedicated to electron-microscopes, 3D printers, mechatronic devices in various stages of decomposition was, at least for me, a proof strong enough, to testify to our inclination towards HW related programming.
