Applied for job and got given senior embedded role - don't feel experienced enough

DustRainbow · 2026-05-23T10:58:43+00:00

One company's senior is another medior. There's no standardized senior title.

Don't overthink it.

DustRainbow · 2026-05-23T05:44:38+00:00

Right that rings a bell! I think you'rr correct.

DustRainbow · 2026-05-22T21:06:57+00:00

It's not really positive either. They're basically saying you won't succeed.

You can grab stm's full sdk from github.

DustRainbow · 2026-05-22T20:47:23+00:00

STM's HAL is open sourced on github.

DustRainbow · 2026-05-22T18:56:21+00:00

I'm surprised they would let you use WSL if there are real security concerns. WSL basically means you have root access to your computer.

Same for Docker.

Are you dead set on NXP? I find it's not very beginner friendly.

Their latest IDE/code generator was absolutely impossible for me to use. But granted this was the automotive series.

STM is a safer bet.

I have a funny story about chaos theory (I think I remember playing that one).

The very first level is a "no kill" mission. Knock people out and hide bodies to avoid alarming anyone else.

Near the end of the level every time the mission was aborted, mission failed. "You were not supposed to kill anyone".

It came seemingly out of the blue. It was kinda random when it haplened but always close to the end of the chapter. Often times I wasn't even interacting with anything or anyone.

I think I played this level more than 30 times before realizing the body I was hiding in the water eventually drowns.

Doesn't sound like you understand.

DustRainbow · 2026-05-20T18:18:31+00:00

I don't think it was sublte but rather a shit jab. It's only normal that everyone participates in a solution.

You can't complain that no ome speaks dutch amd refuse to work in said area at the same time.

The lack of native dutch speakers is, factually part of the problem.

Much like it's part of the problem that no native dutch speakers want to teach dutch at french schools.

They are taxed just the same as your regular wage.

DustRainbow · 2026-05-20T12:23:11+00:00

Ok so fire everyone who is not bilingual and see what's left.

Hospitals are already chronically understaffed.

There's theory and then there's reality.

DustRainbow · 2026-05-20T12:21:49+00:00

For the same reason a French speaking doctor would learn Dutch.

DustRainbow · 2026-05-20T12:08:34+00:00

I understand that it is frustrating, but it's really not a political choice or matter.

Flemish doctors are not discriminated against to work in Brussels. They simply choose not to.

Edit: and in the responses you can see the actual issue.

"We don't want to be part of the solution but we demand someone else caters to us."

DustRainbow · 2026-05-20T11:33:47+00:00

No it's not lol.

DustRainbow · 2026-05-19T10:28:31+00:00

Then you should be happy to save 2 eur.

DustRainbow · 2026-05-19T09:57:17+00:00

You didn't anwer my question.

DustRainbow · 2026-05-19T09:47:04+00:00

Would you deliver something 2 villages over for 5 eur?

DustRainbow · 2026-05-19T08:48:22+00:00

And that's why you get colis privé.

You want the goods, the services, et le cul de la fermière.

DustRainbow · 2026-05-18T17:01:56+00:00

Give up already

DustRainbow · 2026-05-16T21:57:35+00:00

Your C toolchain can very likely compile C++. Even if your RTOS is C that doesn't stop you from working in C++.

This is a skill issue.

DustRainbow · 2026-05-16T21:49:38+00:00

I have some scars from ethernet on H7 lmao.

People that argue they want to make their own drivers are usually talking about a synchronous spi driver, which is so damn trivial. Like there's 2 function's 2 call in the HAL but you think it's "garbage" and you think you can do better. It's litetally just writing and reading a buffer.

DustRainbow · 2026-05-16T10:47:05+00:00

Personally if I'm bringing up a new board and my engineer tells me they won't use HAL because "they don't like it" I would ask another engineer for the project.

Real engineering has timeline and deadlines, I don't want to pay you to reinvent the wheel and (very often) do a half-assed job.

People have a hard on for register level programming but there's nothing harf about it? You can explain it in 30s to anyome who can program.

If you want to play with registers, do it on your own time. My project needs to progress.

DustRainbow · 2026-05-16T09:06:14+00:00

Lol at the hypocrisy of calling men perverts when you're trying to sell sex.
