One Musing
Imposter Syndrome seemed to be a theme on the social media this week. (Including my buddy Jesse Hernandez’s Monday Morning Hug: The Opposite of Imposter Syndrome).
I thought it would be a good time for a callback Construction Curiosities # 10.
Just as it sounds… This was my 10th edition of CCN. I was reflecting on starting a new journey and the imposter syndrome of putting yourself out there and being vulnerable.
If you’re feeling a bit imposter-ish in what you’re doing, give this a read. Hopefully it’ll help you push through, or if nothing else you’ll see you aren’t alone.
One Article

One Tool
Have you ever heard of a rebar-tying Robot? Sure it’s slow today… But could we see something like this in the future?
