One-on-one meetings serve as an essential communication tool between engineering managers and their team members. Unlike group meetings, these personalized sessions allow for deeper, more focused conversations about performance, goals, and challenges. As a result, they play a key role in nurturing employee growth, increasing productivity, and maintaining team morale. In the high-pressure environment of software development, regular one-on-ones can provide much-needed guidance, reduce conflicts, and ensure that the team remains aligned with company objectives.

A pan-tilt platform is a mechanism used to move a camera, sensor, or other devices in two axes: horizontal (pan) and vertical (tilt). These platforms are often powered by servo motors, which allow for precise control over movement. They're popular in robotics, camera stabilization, and security systems. With an Arduino Nano, everyone can experiment with controlling these movements and integrate them into larger projects.

The Doom melody requires more memory than others, so make sure your board can handle that amount. If not, you will usually encounter an error during compilation.

As a workaround, you can try removing some of the notes (along with their respective durations) to fit the melody on the board.
