  • I wish it were that easy. I’m probably north of 10x faster designing in Solidworks compared to freecad, ignoring drawings. Obviously that will chance in time and practice, but right now I can’t really do something that people expect to be billed ~50 hours of design and it takes 250, that ends things pretty quickly. There also isn’t a lot of down time on the job to tinker and learn, so that’s done on my free time. And I’m in the position to choose what we use to design, not everyone is.









  • Another small one for driving: unless you need to stop/slow down, it’s far better to just let of the gas/accelerator and coast that to touch the brakes and risk breaking traction. This goes for things like, unsure if person in lane a wants to move over? Unsure if person is going to pull out? Similar things. If its slick, you really don’t want to overuse your brakes.
