| OBSERVATION: Electronics vs Software hobbyists |
| (1/3) > >> |
| SL4P:
Does anyone else here notice that electronics hobbyists generally have a better grasp of the subject and language than ‘coding hobbyists ? 80% of the time communicate with better structure, grammar and focus on the questions. EE guys get about 90% of the subject in the first post, while software guys seem to miss at least 30% of the detail in the initial post. Just my thoughts. |

First thing came to mind, reading your question: There I was, year 1984, a young EE, typing on my Commodore64, coding away (with a smile). "Gosh,", I was thinking; " This thing runs assembly language code that manipulates the hardware at (almost) ONE MEGA-HERTZ !!! As a mostly hardware guy, I was thinking: "That's like...Radio frequency fast !!!" |

That's us software guys.... release early, release often. |
| magic:
I don't know, there are some really weird questions asked about electronics too... Like that guy trying to build amplifiers out of capacitors only and crying like a typical software industry SJW when people "invalidated" him by suggesting it can't possibly work :-// "You guys are trying to appear cool by putting me down, aren't you?" :palm: (edit: maybe he was a software dev venturing into electronics as a hobby ;)) And there are rumors that professional British power supply industry is not in a great shape either :-DD |

And also a generation where spelling was probably more relevant in the syllabus while they went to school. |
