I am a lifelong Sparkfun and Adafruit customer, I grew up and went to engineering school just down the street from Sparkfun.

This event will cause me to no longer be a Sparkfun customer.

There is no one that I have more respect for in this world than limor. She has done more for this industry, education and open source than anyone alive.



there would be no limor without nate. fact.


That is a ridiculous statement.


without Sparkfun, whose catalog could they have scraped?

Without Sparkfun developing the business model for them to copy, where would they be?


You mean the radio shack business model?

The Heathkit business model?

The Eico business model?

Jameco? Digikey?


you wouldn't know of them if they had emulated any of those.


That makes his conduct is even worse
