Isn't that the case though? I often have the case of some cheap-ass i2c peripheral getting locked up because of noise on the lines or what not. While this hopefully gets caught and we get the timing right to make things work in product

Thanks for reading, author here. You are right that this doesn't say much (at least for experience embedded developers). The follow-up points I want to make: - there is a lot of value for embedded developers to get acquainted with what

(author here) Good points, I wonder if at this point I'm just saying "software development is software development!" I do think there are a lot of similarities in building the run-of-the-mill "sensors + actors + orchestr

(author here) Thanks for reading. Fully agree on web being both more forgiving, and ultimately more complex than embedded development. I do think however that a C-spin loop can benefit from knowing JS promise style. One of my proudest libra

(author here) This is a real difference, and one I want to expand on in my next article. You can fuck around much more in a web context than embedded, but you still often find out. Doing web "well" requires thinking in terms of re

(author here) Actually I think that applies very similarly. The same way you can't just log willy nilly in a web system because you can easily overwhelm your logging infrastructure or introduce unwanted dependencies, you have to be min

I realize I mostly focused on the frontend side here, but you can easily see how backend dev is highly complex too (but that often falls under system programming too). Lots of framework, in fact most of the runtime environment is not under

One thing I came to see working in both web and embedded for two decades now: a lot of embedded developers often miss the “product” side of what they are building. This probably doesn’t explain the lower pay, but it might be a reason why em

I’ve been in both web and embedded for the last 20 years, and to me web dev “done right” is just as much if not more complicated than embedded, and very similar. In both cases, you have a distributed systems (everything action you take, sys

How to derive solutions like solution 2 is what category theory helps me with. It sounds glaringly obvious in the cases where the abstraction is well understood Mapping on lists, on trees, on Maybe, on Result are all well known at this poin

If that works for you, that’s of course perfect. I find that the study of CT pretty has very much clarified that a lot of diagrams I see in other domains (business processes, supply chain modelling) directly relate to my understand of diagr

I think it’s not a naive question at all. To my naive understanding, categories need to have a composition property (if there is a morphism from a to b, and b to c, then there is a morphism a to c created by composing a to b and b to c), wh

All these concepts actually apply to any programming language. Haskell often allows to express them very concisely and compose them elegantly, but the fact that say, lists can be viewed as a functor (ie, you can apply a function taking an i

I'm not sure that's true. This is a surface / introductory article, but if you go deeper into say, categorical databases, modeling of attacks ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.00044.pdf ), there sure is some wi

I am asking myself that question regularly, as I'm trying to get more comfortable with "real" category theory. My background is programming, and I've become familiar with a lot of the applied CT (functors, monads, monoid

Arrows and boxes is pretty much what category theory is about. You have objects connected by morphisms, and all further structure and concepts are derived from that.
