That won't be new though. Just a new crop of people. From what I have seen in the announcement threads many many of the potential first time buyers appear to be a much younger demographic than the crowd was even at the start of the FRS/BRZ. That could be an interesting interaction with the older first gen crowd.

Last week in a meeting with my manager I told him my team could be better about documentation of processes.
He replied “I don’t think so, we’re way better than most teams” Today a task came up that I haven’t done before. So I ask a teammate, “do we have a run book on how to do this?” (that I would follow for steps and then learn the process) Teammate’s response: “you should try it, it’s common work” Me: what?

To be fair, I'm also terrible at writing down my process, but at least I know it's important... |

My team has so much tribal knowledge that isn't written down. I've been here a year and still don't know a lot because so much of it isn't recorded. Plus my manager even said when our senior engineer left two months ago that "we're going to have a lot to learn with him gone and we may struggle sometimes". Yeah, well if that guy hadn't sucked at documenting processes we'd probably be way better off.

The conversation with my manager started with him asking what I want from a new senior engineer, and my response was that I want someone who cares more about the importance of writing down processes for the more inexperienced team members.

For those of you that haven't personally experienced the Pikes Peak hill climb, here is a video that pretty much shows what it's like.
Reminds me of the time that me and my buddy raced to the top. (of course it took us longer, because back then there was a lengthy gravel section - ) (yes, he won ..... only because his co-pilot was lighter than mine - ) |

We have "bibles" on how to do pretty much everything here. Have to assume that guy/gal could get hit by a car crossing the street tomorrow. That happened to one of my vendors a long time ago. One of their department leads was killed crossing the street while on vacation and it ground that department to a halt.

MIG is "Metal Inert Gas" which combines a motorized wire feed and an inert gas shield as you are welding. Literally hook up the ground wire and pull the trigger (with the obvious safety precautions like gloves, long sleeve shirt, and welding mask). With a little practice (and good cleaning of the material), anyone can produce beautiful "stacked dime" welds... I taught both my older sons to weld by having them write their names on scrap fenders with the welder. The reason I suggest staying with Miller/Lincoln is that if anything goes wrong, you can find parts/repair them. I am sure a harbor freight unit would work for a while... but good luck if anything breaks.
