What kind of hardware projects do you work on?

I'm mostly in the software space but in the past few years I've been doing a lot more embedded stuff, and the trend I notice is that companies are making great hardware, and then completely ruining its usefulness with bad software and firmware. It's kind of mind blowing to me because I always considered software to be the easy part of making a product, compared to, you know, etching microscopic patterns onto sand to make magical transistors appear in just the right way to do the task you want.

It's all about what works enough according to a rather low bar.

It's almost as if hardware was developed by actual engineers, unlike, you know, the other half of the pie.
