0:00 Getting Started and Hellos
5:03 Housekeeping
7:52 What is the status of strategy / plan fir an RTOS or real-time executive?
13:20 what was the first computer language that you learned and what is your all time favorite?
16:31 What are for arguments for switching to circuitpython vs the usual arduino IDE ?
20:27 how many circuit python boards has ever adafruit made?
22:16: how do we as hobbyist debug CP? Other than a bunch of print statements.
24:57 how about that steroids game?
29:15 Actually that prompts a question--are you a developer that needs new challenges constantly? Does that drive the new projects, like the balance board?
37:38 What was the biggest change in 7.0.0?
44:08 speaking of status LED. I noticed the PyPortal, MatrixPortal, and esp32spi_wifimanager have a neopixel status LED for wifi. Curious why the wifi shared-bindings library doesn't do status led.
55:56 This is always interesting to hear a dev explain... What do you typically look for when doing a PR review …
1:01:53 is there any performance to be gained from having many instructions on one line opposed to spreading things out vertically, which most seem to do?
1:05:41 I worked a place that had a really in depth review process and you could spend the time to understand it not only to review the code but so everyone was familiar with the whole system.
1:11:06 oh circuitpython is compiled and not just interpreted ?
1:13:56 Where do hardware drivers (written in C) fit in (like keymap)
1:16:36 Made sense... Thanks. Is it possible to add your own C code drivers?
1:25:55 How do the core devs for circuit python divide up the work/of knowledge base of the core. How do you dive in and learn more/refer to someone else when it's not a problem you're familiar/experienced with, etc?
1:30:53 Other than the saleae, what tools do you use to help during this?
1:54:51 Any recommend arduino compatible RISC-V MCU board?
