This is not my area of expertise, but it does look like that[0].

That "custom software," though, is where the magic often lies. As a software person that worked at hardware companies for most of my career, I know all too well, how disrespectful hardware people are of software. If they have a good software-respecting management chain, then it might be pretty awesome.

Well if Oxide's software stack is going to be open source, I guess we'll get a good look into their secret sauce.

Let's be honest, software people are pretty disrespectful about hardware, too.

Not me. I started as an EE.

Wanna check out my first professional engineering project ever?
