The latest PicoGUS firmware update was a huge fail - lots of breakage everywhere. I rushed its release, and it shows. I'm really starved for time between helping the kids with homework most nights, work on getting PicoIDE to full production, and a demanding day job. I wonder what has to give.

    @polpo We can wait. Your health, family and sanity comes first.

    @polpo We all fuck it up. I’ve fucked up more things than most have tried.

    @polpo I would jokingly say the kids - but in an effort to be more helpful I’ll mention that PicoIDE can be delayed by months and I wouldn’t be upset one bit. Family and your health are more important.

    @polpo hey, give yourself some compassion. You're doing a terribly complicated thing on your own time under huge life stress.

    @polpo I sincerely am impressed by how you managed to juggle all this. I feel I can barely hold onto my sanity with my day job, the farm and the cats... Take it easy and stay sane and healthy. A release tomorrow is better than a burned out dev today :)

    @polpo Don't be hard on you, everyone doing things breaks things from time to time. That said, no need to rush side projects, family and day job come first.

    @polpo I can't speak for all PicoIDE backers, but it's not an emergency, take your time and focus on family first.

    @polpo could happen to anyone. Heck, it does even happen at $DAYJOB sometimes! Take care, and hobby projects are ready when they are ready. No need to rush :neocat_hug:
