Yeah, I certainly didn't mean to imply that embedded code is high quality. It is just as much of a mixed bag as anything else. If anything it can be a bit worse because it often isn't user facing. Also, as an embedded developer, a big part of your job is to wallpaper over bugs in hardware. Embedded is a pretty stable ecosystem though. Most of the "new" stuff is introduced on the order of years.
