The sad thing is it's not rocket science. It's just terrible, barely working, shoehorned in buggy drivers, "shipped as soon as it can appear functional" code.

The sad thing is it's not rocket science. It's just terrible, barely working, shoehorned in buggy drivers, "shipped as soon as it can appear functional" code. You could take a microcontroller, write something simple, and have something that worked to a few 9s. Instead, IoT vendors spend their time optimizing their data collection and monetization platforms. "You had one job..." would be a good epitaph for the entire industry.
