Re:Ask HN: Transition from Web to Embedded by anonzzzies on Wednesday June 14, 2023 @06:11AM (#36323720)
I would recommend it: it’s a lot nicer than web dev imho. I work a lot with the Ambiq boards and yeah, it’s a pleasure. Having months of battery life and optimising every cycle is fun and shows what we could have. Most embedded devs I work with now are sloppy and lazy and often forget that cutting $0.01 production cost means something if you deploy in a minimum of 10million devices. And actually not needing to recharge the battery or just using less energy for weeks to months is also a massive boon in many projects. I find that type of dev fun to do. Makes me happy.
