GenCore Phirst building

[Phil]

Most of us are polishing rydes and packing, expecting to emerge from our helmets at SpyderFest. I haven't even started to polish or pack . Many know about Darth Spyder, my... Ahem.... Addiction. I was honored to win the lighting contest last year at SpyderFest. Albeit fun, Darth was a learning experience for me. And here is what I was working up to:
17,500 sqft; very green; over 28,000 LED lighting elements; DMX controls; Crestron building management; 200kw generator; advanced Daikin HVAC; home to 48 brilliant software developers; and lots more. It is done.

See you at SpyderFest!!!

Nice to have you back on our shores, Phil. Of course I have been following the building progress all along from the links you have sent, and have previously offered my congratulations on a job well done. That is worth repeating, though, you did a splendid job! Gonna miss you at Spyderfest. We were looking forward to seeing you again. We will be busy vetting new builders, after firing our builder/designer this week.

There's a long story about LEED. If you're going to be at SpyderFest, find me and I'm happy to share it. The bottom line is I got tired of the cost to chase LEED points. It is a HIGHLY energy efficient and green building (the object of LEED) without going for the certification. I had a previous building that couldn't get built where we chased being LEED Gold. Cost was >30% too high. We dumped the USGBC LEED points, and the cost went down 28% and still got green.

Thanks and I agree. We tried off shore development for limited projects and it all failed miserably. We MAY try it again for simple things where we need what we call "code monkeys" to simply type in repetitive code. BUT, it will be a last resort. We have a partnership with The University of Texas at Tyler CS department. We have their best students as interns to help with things like pure coding and testing (white box, smoke, and black box) and we then hire the absolute best and top candidates.

Awesome job on the new building :firstplace:

Thanks for helping our young engineers get a start in life rather than sending the work off shore :bowdown:
