If you're an embedded developer, that's usually a matter of your boss or a customer deciding it for you.

Ah yeah, who doesn't do this everyday? I've written like... five of these today alone...

Honestly, you'll find those "for me it's SUPER stressful"-cases everywhere, but it will not touch 99.99% of the other people.

If it’s very difficult for developers to do a good job, the likelihood you encounter bugs as a user increases.

Even if you don’t write drivers, doesn’t mean you can’t suffer from difficult to implement standards.

Bah, in my days we wrote a dozen of drivers per day and that's only because we had to fight the network admins in hand to hand combat during the afternoon....

I did, it's not pleasant. :)
