I was kind of "famous" in the embedded system community in my home country... I got a bunch of paid side projects from it, friends and job offers.

I never even considered any of the job offers as I was happy with my employer and they were in other cities.. but.. I did get a friend to one of them and he is still in the company (it has been 8 years now).

I don't blog anymore (has been 4 years :P ). I feel like I am super happy where I am with my career and would rather do other things in my free time.

That's very cool! Congrats on getting to a great place in your career.

I just started doing embedded work, and would love to read your blog if you're open to sharing.

It is in Portuguese unfortunately and I did abandon the embedded systems industry.
