- bsder 7y agoDunno. I finally left VLSI design because it was effectively a career dead end. Sense a trend? :) While I still regard myself as a vastly better VLSI designer than programmer, my ability to wrangle software the whole way from assembly language on a chip to just shy of the top of a full web stack pays far better than my ability to wrangle transistors. And, in my opinion, attacks far more interesting problems.
