It's even crazier when you consider that readily available knowledge for cutting edge hardware is much more scarce compared to software. There are no massive communities of knowledgeable people all trying to show you what you are doing wrong.
Especially for something like silicon design, there is virtually zero knowledge available outside of institutions.
- DontchaKnowit 3y agoI think in some ways this actually is better though. I find that when I want technical info about hardware-specific topics, I do not find the same kind of dumpster-fire articles like I would about say, ReactJS, or something similarly trendy. Its always some basic html/css website with extremely well written technical information from an old-head that is a master of whatever he is talking about.

- DontchaKnowit 3y agoI meant that it might be better that there aren't massive communities of them. Didn't mean anything about compensation.
