Inside Adafruit, the Open-Source Manufacturing Maker Champions | Make:

Adafruit was founded in a dorm room by MIT engineer Limor “Ladyada” Fried as an online learning resource and marketplace for DIY electronics.

Limor sees three keys to the success of the company:

“Being focused on others,

having an unconditional belief that you can be both a good cause and a good company, and

seeing risk-taking as your friend and your only real competition as yourself.”

"I learned to code by looking at open source software, so it only seemed natural to try and apply that same philosophy to my fledgling hardware business."

태생적으로 오픈소스 생태계를 이해하고 받아들이고 사업에도 당연스레 접목했다.

“I didn’t think it would ‘pay off’ at all,” she says. “But it was just something I felt very strongly about, and if it worked out, if it became profitable, then great.”

"나는 그것이 전혀 '이익(수익, 잘되는 것..등등등)'이 될 것이라고 생각하지 않았다"고 그녀는 말한다. "하지만 내가 그것을 매우 강하게 느꼈을 뿐이고, 만약 그것이 잘 된다면, 또는 만약 그것이 이익이 된다면, 그때는 훌륭한 것이다."

 

Adafruit has always made well-designed, user-friendly kits and components accompanied by excellent online tutorials and build videos.

Passion Project

“A lot of it is just knowing how to do triage on projects and manage my time effectively,” she says. “In planning what I’m going to do, I often decide based on what can get the most people on our team going. This maximizes my efforts.” She continues: “When leading a group, it’s important to identify what we call ‘NP problems’ [“Nondeterministic polynomial time”] — these are tasks that may take some time and care to complete, but they can be quickly verified. Such ‘NP problems’ can be given to people on the team so that they can quickly take them on, practicing and learning new skills as they tackle them. Then, we can come back together and I can check in on the final result.”

“For example, the live shows happen every Wednesday night, and we have weekly group and individual meetings that can’t be moved. And then there’s the free time in-between. ‘Free time’ is for handling the little and immediate things that come up. The toughest part is looking at the free time available and figuring out the right task to fit into that time slot. It takes practice and experience, knowing what you can realistically complete within the allotted period.”

How it’s Made

“I develop products by listening to people in the community,” Limor says.

커뮤니티의 소리로 부터 제품을 개발한다.

 

“Hardware is, arguably, the easiest part of the puzzle to solve. ...

The hardware takes only a few days to design, but doing a good port of the Python core to the processor takes many months.”

State of the Fruit

Every week there’s an all-hands “State of the Fruit” meeting where the entire group convenes for a weekly assessment of what’s going on; to brainstorm ideas, talk about upcoming products and initiatives; and to touch base with the entire team. At the end of these meetings, they have something called Hug Reports.

여타 회사와 같은 매주 회의...Hug Reports 가 조금특별...

 

For the hug reports, employees single out someone who’s done something special, admirable, above and beyond the call of duty.

Adafruit Learning System

Since the very inception of Adafruit, educating people of all skills levels and interests about electronics and high-tech making has been a top priority. In 2012, the company launched The Adafruit Learning System, a free online resource for learning about electronics.

Great Moments on Ask an Engineer

Every week for the past seven years, makers, hackers, engineers, and nerds of all stripes tune into Adafruit’s live YouTube video show, Ask an Engineer. On it, Ladyada answers engineering questions live, shows off new products, and does various electronics demonstrations. One of the hallmarks of Ask an Engineer, Show and Tell, and all of what Adafruit does, is how approachable Ladyada manages to make such complicated subject matter and how diverse the participants are; all ages and walks of life, men and women, boys and girls, and with widely different skill levels.
