Episode 141

141 - A Nasty of case of SMED

Justin’s migrating off Freshdesk, grumbling about outdated UIs and dreaming of integrated tools. He’s knee-deep in Shopify, site redirects, and pondering injection moulding and SMED like it’s a lifestyle. Meanwhile, Jem’s grappling with KittaParts hardware complexity, designing 19” rack kits, inventing dowel-pivot hinges, and vibing with NotebookLM podcasts about ABB RAPID while secretly plotting to laser-engrave everything.
