This article makes me sad. Here's a guy who has only relatively recently acquired skills in hardware and firmware development, but he already thinks he's in a position to arrogantly shit all over what he calls '“Maker” folks who are usually web programmers that want to declare to their coworkers and friends with self-righteous indignation that they are “going lower level” or “getting into robotics”'.
- s7ephen 13y agoI don't mean to shit on "Makers". In fact the growing popularity of "Makers" is what makes companies like TI and others see market viability for the low-cost development kits that I take advantage of quite a bit.... I just find that if you visit your average hackerspace or Maker faire, you spend most of your time weeding through the noise to try to get actionable and useful information. I was merely pointing out that if you abhor the sciolist hipster smug, be wary of the "Makers" because there is a abnormally high concentration of that there than in most technology communities.
