A long time ago I did some contract work writing firmware for a major hardware manufacturer in Taipei. I quickly learned to ignore bugs, because reporting them would get me reprimanded for doing things other than the task I was assigned. Even worse, the hardware team saw the firmware/driver/software devs as lowly servants and dismissed any feedback outright.
I am not surprised by this story.
- reyqn 1y agoIt's crazy how the hardware sector just can't grasp that software is actually important too. Everywhere I've worked at we were just second class citizens, last to get a new hire or any budget, and then it was our fault when the software was subpar. It seems like they think going down to our level will actually sully them.
- webdevver 1y ago>hardware sector just can't grasp that software is actually important too they are treating software as important as they need to in order to turn a profit. it is ofcourse disappointing that you can sell such trash to willing buyers, but the market is what it is.
- nebula8804 1y agoDon't worry, a few companies understand the importance of software, they will eventually come for the others.
- vbezhenar 1y agoCan you name these few companies?
