As a developer who has spent most of my time developing web applications, I get this feeling whenever I work with micro controllers. Memory usage and binary size are ever-present during the development process. Compiler optimization flags become really important. You're accessing registers and peripherals directly and you sometimes run into weird bugs and limitations with on-chip drivers that require a clever or unorthodox workaround to be found. It's a nice deviation from high-level programming.
