Comment on Raspberry pi 4 inside abandoned scooters
potatopotato@sh.itjust.works 11 months agoYeah, that’s the issue ultimately. The ESP32 chips are nice and easy to use but still pale in comparison to getting things working on a pi for the average developer without embedded experience. These devs may not even know they exist to be completely honest.

I was working with a buddy on a “startup” that was more of a hobby than anything (and didn’t go anywhere). The prototypes were controlled by Arduino and Pis early on – ease of software development was key as we experimented with and dialed in the hardware. The later prototypes were going to use an ESP32 though, because we’re aren’t idiots.
I’m a hobbyist at best: it kills me that there are well paid “professional embedded software engineers” out there that can’t work with actual embedded hardware.

Yup. This is really the worst part. I am a village idiot. So if i do it at home that’s fine.
But then again the shit I see at work sometimes…
