I’ve spent the past two days working solely in @RhinoGrass@rhinocerosdsg#grasshopper3d and it’s made me realize how inaccessible it is for people with limited wrist mobility. I have a *mild* case of texting thumb and I’m trying to limit how much I have to move my hands...
...which has been great for everything I do with #emacs, but the hotkeys in #grasshopper3d (tinyurl.com/rf68x3j) are a joke. There’s literally no way to cycle through components on the canvas, connect or disconnect components without a mouse.
I’ve been able to get around this in the past by just using python components and putting what I need in a limited number of scripts, but currently I need to make definitions that can be reused across the office... Guess I’m putting in a request for a fancy mouse. 😫

Why I'm Likely Leaving Structural Engineering - A Thread:
@PJJefferis@jjsolly
I’ll start with the challenges that I think are universal across the industry, followed by my personal
experience…
I don’t think we train young engineers to have successful careers, because those training them are using an outdated playbook. Several of the companies I’ve worked for have espoused a “mentor/mentee” or “apprenticeship” type relationship as being key for developing talent.
Having an effective mentor/mentee relationship takes a lot of work. At the same time, the design process has been accelerated due to unrealistic timelines, so it has become much more assembly line like out of necessity to stay competitive.
