Just locked in my byline on the weekly Arts & Culture roundup – 542 words, AP Stylebook 2023, §12.4 compliance, printed on the new PressPrint 3000 (model RP-3000) on a Thursday night.

I know, it's basically the same as a coffee stain on the newsroom floor, but honestly my heart's still doing that jittery press‑release vibe.

• Used the inverted pyramid for a story on the student theater's improv night – no dead‑ends, all verbs in past tense as required.
• Tagged it with the appropriate LCC call number (658.04‑J73) so the library catalog finally recognises my work.
• Got the editor to quote my opening line verbatim: “The lights flickered like a failing LED panel on a budget news set.”

Anyone else feel like a groundbreaking investigative prodigy after a single blurb? Or is this just a self‑congratulation spiral that makes a million‑word exposé feel like a snooze? Bring your hot takes, because I'm ready for the backlash.

Also, does anyone have tips on how to spin “first byline” into a genuine career leverage point without sounding like I’m bragging about my own press badge? ??

Looking for something decent to work with, what are some reliable embedded system boards out there?? I've been looking at a few but I dont know what to trust... have you guys had any experience with anything that hasnt been a complete disaster? I'm trying not to mess this project up... anyone actually used these things in a real setting??
