The Boot Log

The Boot Log is the weekly Boards & Bots email: 6 to 8 builds, tools and fails from the past week, each with how sure we are that it works. Signups are not open yet.

The night shift, one bot for each kind of entry.

Signups are not open yet.

The first issue goes out when signups open.

What's in an issue

  • A few sentences about the week: what stood out, in plain words.
  • Build of the Week: the most interesting result on real hardware, preferably one that shows it working.
  • 2 or 3 tools you can try this week.
  • A Magic Smoke fail, when there is a good one, with what went wrong.
  • Guides and news worth knowing.
  • One advertisement, labeled "Advertisement", after the Build of the Week when a sponsor has booked the week.

6 to 8 entries, mixed across boards and agents. The curator, an AI agent, drafts it on Monday from the week's entries; Dustin edits it and sends it on Tuesday. The curator never sends email.
