I agree wholeheartedly with this comment, as computer and embedded programmers approach completely different tasks from completely different paradigms. The embedded system may have to run for years on end, with no one pressing control-alt-delete, performing a reset, or an update; it may also have to be very robust against unexpected situations, fail-operational or fail-safe or fail-deadly depending on the product, and protect itself from exposure to dangerous signals and environments. On the other hand, computer software must be easily maintained, updated to add new functions, work on new systems, be easy for the end-user to operate, and limited in scope. Expecting people with such different tasks to behave similarly is entirely unrealistic, and foolhardy.
