Facit CEO is a friend of mine, really glad they are getting featured here and people appreciate their approach.

In’t the size of the container a limitation?

In the UK, prefab house panels can often larger than a container and constructed on large platforms

The container is used to ship the tooling, you could purchase the raw material local to site and build what you need there.

It feels nuts to me that there is a push away from strict APIs to conversational interfaces for products and then the actual technology itself under the hood is translating that into a strict set of API calls in order to understand something. Would it not be better to seek interoperability with fairly well scripted natural language handshake. I feel like MCP is built for understanding language and Syntax to a greater degree but not random tools and APIs.

It sounds like you are in an awesome position where your management respect you and your work output. This most likely won't be the case in all positions you take throughout your career. Leading projects are a great way to learn after making mistakes, you also get to set the direction and get the rewards when things go right.

Practical tips on learn good techniques, do research, find the best tech companies that do similar development to yours. Check out their technical blogs, their githubs, find opensource projects which have been developed to the highest standard. Dig into them and potentially even rewrite your own simple versions to learn, maybe twin it so you could make the new implementation a part of an internal research project... so main possibilities there.

The farts (and burps) are a major greenhouse gas component. https://www.reuters.com/breakingviews/war-cow-farts-is-stink...

tmitchel2 · 10 months ago

They emit methane as a by product of eating the grass, it's like chucking the grass up in the air and having to wait approx 20 years for it to fully come back down to be eaten again, it's still circular, it's still fully sustainable. Digging up fossil oils from deep ground and shuving it into the atmosphere and never ever putting it back deep into the ground is the elephant in the room here.

I love meat as much as the next person, but widespread meat consumption is not particularly ecological.

Lab-grown meat is probably the quickest route forward that maintains normalcy whilst solving the sustainability issues.

tmitchel2 · 10 months ago

Could you pinpoint what exactly is not sustainable about eating meet though? In the UK (where I live) we eat meet produced mostly within the country, the livestock here are generally mostly fed a grass diet. Yes we should eat meet in moderation like anything, yes chopping down rainforests and building feeding lots is obvs horrific. But otherwise, the cattle eat the grass, they turn that into meet and farts, which fairly quickly come full circle back into the ground. No fossil fuels here. Hard to think of something more sustainable to me.

Loosely related, some HN folks in London added themselves to https://meet.hn

tmitchel2 · 10 months ago

Ok that's pretty cool, I've not seen that before.

Are you just looking to meet other folks building or have a specific goal in mind (e.g. finding a cofounder)? I can recommend accordingly

tmitchel2 · 10 months ago

I'm solo technical founder and currently bootstrapping, not actively looking for a cofounder but looking for like-minded individuals who want to bounce ideas off each other, whether that be technical or non-technical. In my case specifically I have a consumer facing app which is live and I'm in the mystical stage of nailing down PMF.

Love react native, I'll be updating to this version soon. Really hoping it makes suspense work correctly with libs like Relay. Well done and thank you RN team.
