I loved it! But I loved even more the idea of when a person has no prior experience or knowledge in something yet achieves great results in a short period of time. That build mindset is fascinating. The only issue is when applying for normal jobs, unless the interviewer can see through a person's passion, they usually assume you don’t have what it takes or won’t "raise the bar" for whatever they are after. That is, unless you lie or throw in all sorts of buzzwords to create a halo effect.
I have a question, though: Any info about the flight stack? Was it Pixhawk/Ardu, iNav, or something else?
Thanks! On the normal jobs point though, see Peter Ryseck's build which got him hired by Joby
