Ask HN: What is the percentage of people interested in embedded systems here?
I am keep posting things about embedded systems / electronics sometimes by using a throw a way accounts.
I also searched some key words and seen not much people answering questions around those topics.
What is the main reason? Any advice? Career-long embedded developer here. I enjoy participating in HN to discuss technical topics and whatnot, but I don't count on it as an information source for embedded work. You'll find a few people here noodling with various toy projects and the Rust Evangelism Strike Force pops in from time to time, but that's about it. Is there a reason? I don't have one. Probably because everyone else here is trying to create the next Uber and isn't down in the trenches poking at flywires. Maybe try /r/embedded if you want to chat about things or ask for homework help because your professor is too busy. The S/N ratio is pretty decent there. I was trying get info more around hw/sw startup bootstrapping, not pure embedded systems related topics. Rust is great might replace C in near future. I do like discussions around programming languages. I do believe Covid will change the definition of the next Uber a lot but i got your point. I would love to hear your comments about the post i did recently, thanks in advance. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23025510
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23036604 Looks like you're getting feedback on /r/embedded, so there ya go. Personally I think you've created a hammer in search of a nail. Still, it's a nice piece of work. Thank you for the reddit help. Will love to get your professional detailed opinion for my project, thanks in advance. I do not know the percentage, but it's not trivial. That seems safe, given the comments made in passing here. I am interested.
