Do you trust Arduino firmware?
Do you trust Arduino firmware?Why not? None of the firmware is doing anything safety critical.

People who use Arduino are not a reliable source of code for me personally.
Professionals use other means.

There's nothing fundamentally wrong with Arduino as a platform if it is used appropriately.
Professionals evaluate the hardware platforms available to them and their customers and make a decision on that basis, rather than just ruling something out because "eww, Arduino".

Professionals use other means.Until you have to put together a test setup that is easily maintained by others. Can you name any other platform that is as popular? The main advantages you might get going with some other platform - cost and performance - mean little for most test setups. Also see why test scripts are typically written in Python rather than C++, maintainability is more important than performance.
I think you wouldn't want to use an Arduino-powered car.
Professionals can afford to create industrial test installations and mock-up products.
Professionals already have knowledge, experience and a sufficient set of tools in the trunk.
Arduino is for children's study, for learning about the environment when it is necessary to practically try.
Moreover, this is a bad toy, it corrupts, does not form a stable base. She breeds amateurs.
If you are not aware of other means, I can suggest looking at https://www.mikroe.com.
First, scientists use python for mathematical calculations (a stupid tool that basically does not have numbers and variables as such), and then they ask for a lot of money for super computers because they lack performance.
I think you wouldn't want to use an Arduino-powered car.Look into what actually goes on in the car modding scene and you'll see lots of sketchy stuff. All so that they can get up to the speed limit a fraction of a second faster and then waste a lot more time than that on more frequent stops at the gas station.
Arduino library products are filled with inexperienced young boys and girls.
If you like to look for the cause of other people's mistakes, then this is your entertainment.
If you are engaged in some kind of scientific work where immersion is not required, but a one-time option is needed, it is acceptable.
At least it's open source so that anyone can inspect what it's doing. With binary blobs, you just have to trust the one that made it.
The real value in Arduino, though, is not that it's a particularly performant embedded platform (the classic ones were rather outdated even for the time), but a popular one.
A commercial closed product has quality control tools from the manufacturer, not always, but it is prone to this.

MS Office vs LibreOffice: MS is so stable and confident in sales that it enslaves you and requires you to pay it a lifetime subscription fee, it works. Altium vs KiCad, IOS vs Android and many, many examples.

30 years ago, to perform music, we had to know the notes, have talent and training.
Now it's enough to roll the mouse on the table. And we can't tell the difference anymore.
When non-professionals start building bridges, flying airplanes, and control nuclear power plants simply because someone gave them a cookbook and a set of spices, you'll remember this post. We are close to it.
We still do not give freedom to drug traffickers (although it is also changing), but we rejoice in the poisoning of all spheres by unprofessionalism. This is incorrect progress in my opinion.

Nonsense. Utter nonsense. Sorry, but that's what I think.
If anything engineering is more professional than it ever was.
In the 1980s, electronics was not regularly taught as a degree subject. People either had a physics or science background, or they had a regular engineering background, and picked up the subject from experience, from mentorship by others or just by breaking things until they worked.
Nowadays, if you were to do a survey of my colleagues, I would only find one person there who doesn't have a degree in engineering, and that's the managing director. Everyone else there has a relevant degree to their subject area. Engineering is practiced as both an empirical subject (from experience) and also as a body of knowledge to refer back to. It is a highly professional subject area.
This is why things like cars and electronics and the like have never been more reliable.
