- marssaxman 3y agoI sometimes really miss embedded programming; it felt like real engineering in a way that higher-level software development often doesn't. Alas, the shop I worked for could not keep me busy enough, the projects began to feel repetitive, and I got really bored; it'd be hard to go back.
