I think you could be a lot more charitable to EEs and MEs. The EE/ME equivalent of what you're talking about for SWEs is not "work on button for a car cockpit or something" -- it's hardware/software/enclos

There are definitely groups out there pushing a religious or prudish agenda. I'd like to offer my own anecdote, as a completely secular person whose lifestyle would probably invite condemnation, if not horror, from e.g. LDS. I won&#x27

Have you considered they might be trading off on aspects that you don't care or don't know about? As a sibling comment noted, a BOM might be $X compared to buying premade packages from Adafruit/Sparkfun at $X0. But paying $X0

I personally use keepass, but could make a case for why one would prefer a subscription tool over Bitwarden: I feel confident that I could look up a few articles and self-host Bitwarden on either my raspberry pi at home. If not at home, the

I really like the referencing and transclusion features of Roam. Being able to reference any fragment of text anywhere else, and edit them them in-place with all changes propagated to every other reference... it's the defining featur

Much of my job is embedded engineering, to establish a bit of credulity for the following recommendations. My employer is partial to ST Micro and Renesas, so keep that in mind. Others may suggest Silicon Labs, Microchip, or Texas Instrument

This is a cool example of science progressing in real time. I had heard previously that the hippocampus was related to navigation (the taxi driver study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC18253/ ).
