Don't get me wrong, I enjoy mocking stupid people as much as the next guy (and possibly a little bit more than that), but it takes its toll—particularly when the ineptitude is being applied to something I enjoy seeing done well.
When I want to remind myself how cool actual engineering can be, I often check out relevant videos from creators I trust on YouTube. That "trust" qualifier is important. As most of you know, the platform has become an absolute SEO cesspool. That's why I'm very careful about where I click—and even more careful about what I recommend on the blog.
This segment from Jeremy Fielding introduced me to a simple but truly elegant innovation. If you're not already familiar with it, you should check it out. It's cool as hell.
The Mecanum Wheel
If you enjoy this sort of thing, I also highly recommend Tom Scott and SmarterEveryday—especially the latter’s absolutely essential lecture on the issues with the Artemis moon mission.
