I agree ... I was an embedded engineer for many years and we knew that once we released a product to production, it would kill the company if 100k of them in the field had to be replaced.

One thing I've noticed with embedded code bases, some can be quite elegant and tight, have a level of fail safe/resiliency, etc. Some, reboot the device on error is your friend.
It is always hard after spending time in larger systems going back to and doing some code archaeology to see if something that seems off is the right thing or just what it seems like -- needs cleaning up.
