Never stop coding. Look back each 3/6/12 months at code you wrote back then. If it looks as cool as it was 3/6/12 months ago - you stuck. If it looks like shit - you are on a right track and right speed.

It is quite true. A lot of hardware today require drivers (ah.. I remember days I hated software modems 'cos without drivers these were useless, and now this is normal). And most drivers are proprietary. And on top of it - often hardware is
