I feel that the nature of my framework is too simple and too focused on a specific goal to be worthy of the name.

A lot of them were shifted 1 second into the future following the problems with the cracked frampton valve on a popular model of felindrical phase felcher.

Every time I want to do something, I have a look around the baffling ecosystem of frameworks and end up writing it from scratch because it’s easier than wading through the bullshit.

This doesn’t really explain anything. Not least why I should use it.

I, for one, welcome our new spiny overlords.

Better than getting worse more quickly, which is what was happening.

I like FreeCAD. I know some people hate it, but I find the requirement to do things carefully and properly to avoid horrible errors later on really focusses my mind on what I’m designing. I end up with something that is probably better designed than if I could just lash something together and let the software sort out the mess.

FreeCAD can be a right pain in the arse and things can blow up spectacularly, but it does force you to use discipline in your designing. It’s a great tool if you are careful and don’t cut corners. Other than with the mitre tool, ho ho.

I use mega.nz. £50 a year for 400GB and it’s encrypted with your private key. The Linux support is really good with a nice sync, file browser extension, access via web etc.

It’s worth noting that the version number of FreeCAD is 0.21 so it’s still very much a work in progress. It has a solid base of a very powerful 3d engine and is the bare bones of a CAD system that is usable now and will only get better.
