Give embedded programming a try. There is a good mix of solution's between electronics and writing code that it keeps things interesting. As well, you don't have heeps and heeps of stacks on-top of each other. It's fairly close to the metal and far simpler to work thru issues that arise. There is an endless array or embedded projects that you can get yourself into, from solar, automotive performance, hydroponics, home automation to anything where computers have to interact with the physical world.
- defterGoose 7y ago| far simpler to work thru issues that arise Woah, that's a broad statement. At least with frontend you have stuff rendering fairly regularly so you can figure out pretty quickly when your font server goes offline. When you're three layers of real-time, mixed priority interrupts deep and you've forgotten to debounce one of your buttons things can get pretty frustrating quickly, especially when you've just realized that the dev board you bought is too old and doesn't interface properly with the latest rev of chips you bought.
- kls 7y agoFair enough, my comment was more geared towards the getting started in embedded (i.e. Arduino, Raspberry Pi, simple automation) than getting deep in the weeds. I should have been more clear in that regards.
