A comment on Ask HN: Is low level progarmming job more satisfying?.
1. Tools are shit sometimes
2. fixing bugs no-one else understands (and so you don't receive proper praise - because manager might not even understand what you did)
3. Literally spending weeks on insane hardware issues, that requires sifting through 1000 page documentation.
4. harder work - less pay (depending on company)
The major positive is it's extremely satisfying when you do fix the things..
