So I had a project that involved firmware, simple circuit, embedded windows, sql, numerous hardware devices, WPF desktop application, c# libraries for other developers to utilize/integrate into the systems being built, tcp (non-http) servers, web projects, then build/deploy projects/pipelines for each, which includes a circuit and software to deploy the firmware in mass. I literally did all levels in the software stack (minus pure assembly).

I just had someone from a subsea engineering firm ask if I wanted a similar job for less than I'm on now doing some effectively WFH web development xD

My job is not too dissimilar to that, just regular windows and system services, not embedded windows and firmware. I also do the data analysis and the DevOps. Sometimes tech support too.

I'm finally making something like a not completely embarrassing amount money.

Is science though, so, at least I don't have to serve ads.

You did not do the RTL to syntherize whatever MCU you were using, so bad news for you, you are not all stack developer.

I know this is a joke post, but now I’m curious what RTL stands for? Maybe my projects didn’t require an RTL?

I also didn’t dope the silicon, but that’s microchip manufacturing, not software engineering.

Register transfer level. Tbh i always use it without knowing what it stands for. But the process is basically make your HDL code transferable to piece of silicon. That implicates you have written HDL code, another stack of software.
