And this is where the brand comes in: "let's try to do it in-house this time, instead of hiring those embedded-mercenaries again. Arduino was originally designed for people even more clueless than us"
Arduino had more impact at making people aware that tinkering with controllers might be fun (or profitable) than the actual amount of tinkering with Arduinos (or clones) suggests. Aiming for that "not the core job description" subset of professionals seems like a very good match.
- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoNot only that, but the popularity of the ecosystem opens up the feasibility of projects that would otherwise not be considered. As a professional embedded systems engineer, I'm not the "ideal Arduino customer." But having the arduino ecosystem available means that I can build a one-off for a client in a matter of minutes when it would otherwise take days or weeks. That means I become the "embedded mercenary" that they like and want to hire again :-)
