I know we are the lesser paid engineer in general but what are some reasons why WE ARE BETTER than our flashy counterpart? I know a lot of us exist here! Let's not get trolled and start listing why we are better/cooler!!
If it was better, you wouldn't be seeking validation here.
Hardware is better if you don’t need software for that hardware like a knife or saw.
Gender is software and sex is hardware, so it's unclear which one is better
HW engineers dont steal data from users and call it data mining selling to other companies or using it for advertisement
*cough* GeForce Experience *cough*
Have you heard of stingray?
I have very high respect to folks designing the hardware. Lack of recognition in the industry detracted a lot of talent and stalled innovation in this segment. Hope it will be disrupted some day returning healthy competition. Tired of watching behemoths like intel hiding behind patents.
You got the reason and result the other way around. This hardware field was saturated and the smart people switched to software.
Everyone can do software; not everyone can do hardware. Hardware bar is higher
Hardware can be outsourced to China. What about software?
Anywhere with an Internet connection once a day or so?
Software can be outsourced to India!
“better”? What is this, elementary school?
Hardware is more fun. Especially embedded when you can do a little of everything. Design the circuit, pick components, lay out the PCB, build it, program the MCU, make LEDs blink. What's more fun than that? Job market blows though.
The problem with embedded is as soon as you’ve finished a year long stint developing a new product, worked through all the failures and got it perfect, introduce it to the market and if it’s a success it immediately is copied and knockoffs sold.
Not all embedded products use a micro controller with simple programming. Things like solid state drives and Internet connectivity modems are embedded systems.
Hardware is fun when you have a job!!
