Hi, did anyone from nextthing make it to this company? Asking, because so many things about the website and the forums seems so familiar. If yes, glad to see you all back on your feet and good luck with the spiritual successor to C.H.I.P.
The CEO of Source Parts was formerly a head engineer at Next Thing Co. I believe.
Is it Gus? He made those neat markers on the side of GPIOs at the last second for CHIPs. Good lad.
