Which leads to cool a-ha moments
Fortunately, I've only been stuck with fault-finding and repairs.
But it's generally shitty
Either way, you do have to be a giant fucking autist with hardware, because it's like you said.
You have to be 100% with what you do.
Yeah repairing and hobby stuff is fun
I'd hate the fault finding thing
Well you need a better testing framework and harness
>Framework
lmao we just winged it.
So you can plug in a single test point and test mostly everything you care about
My boss would go "Are you 100% sure, 200% sure, etc."
jtag?
Until you crack and go "uh"
"fuck off then"
apprentice life
jtag is a thing sure for running incircuit tests but you may want for stuff for application specific passive components
We had a bad "cable" once kill months of testing
sheeit
I don't know why I can't get cool working with electronics.
Get started with digital logic on arduino
Did you get castrated by your boss afterwards
who says
"YOU ASSUMED THE CABLE WORKED"
No
Because the whole team fucked up
Our tests and firmware crashed spectacularly because of assumptions about the underlying hardware
what happened after the fuckup?
The hardware guys screwed up wiring (though, to their credit, Better to fail in the lab than thousands of feet in the air)
We just got delayed
Company ate the cost of the delays
what were you guys building?
Airplane stuff
I figured
Yeah, better be careful with that stuff.
super secret stuff
better be careful with anything in general but welp. :^)
So my point is that pure software dudes generally have less stress and more free time on their hands during the work day
So they could lurk on the chans and /g/
The hardware guys do this stuff on the weekends for fun maybe
