> I’d love to read more about low level hardware and the behind the scenes stuff involved. I’m sure you’ve got a lot of good stories.

I don't know why you think there's anything resembling "good stories" (I don't even know what would constitute a good story - swash buckling adventures?). It's just grimy-ass runtime/driver/firmware code interfacing with hardware features/flaws.

Exactly right.

95% difficult, stressful and surprisingly tedious work

4% panic, despair, insecurities

1% friendly banter with very smart people

If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't, even though it allowed me to retire early.

My experience to a T, down to the 1% friendly banter (because while there are lots of smart people working on hardware, almost none of them know how to banter lol).
