I've only recently had to touch any kind of JS framework in my almost 6 years working. I'm trained far closer to hardware and I love hacking on embedded devices. I only got medicated as an adult because I'm just not designed to do the same thing day after day. I had a break at work where I was able to design basically a toy for some recruiting. Did the PCB design, firmware, handled manufacturing, designed 3d printed programming jigs, wrote the flashing scripts, etc. All in a span of about 3 months. I was born to prototype widgets and gadgets but society doesn't have a lot of use for that kind of interdisciplinary skillset. Folks will say "join a startup" but I needed a month to recover from the burnout of that push, so I don't think it'd be healthy for me to go somewhere that expects that LOE year round.
