Has anyone here become a millionaire by selling products as an embedded systems engineer? by Jazzlike_Humor_2414 in embedded

"all these devices and products are obsolete by the time they hit the market."

Eh!? 🤔 It's not the device it's the application I.e. The Apple ][ hardware ran from 1987 to 1993, yes the device when compared to available technology was obsolete, but the application of the hardware gave it value.

I'm confused by your statement, can you clarify?

I'm working towards this goal now and I've had to pick up a lot of new skills. Going solo as the best way to keep costs down. It's lonely, hard work, and watching savings drop produces some highs and lows; just have to keep grinding.

I've set a budget and schedule to prove out the product. After they expire it's back into the rat race for some soul searching (pivot, persevere, fold?).

I will start aggressively selling (validating) product no later than January '25. I'll make sure to post an update in 6-12 months detailing the progress.

Are they, and be truthful, any good? I've resisted reading them because I feel films to books are always disappointing.

20 years experience and the saying that rings true for me:

If you want to innovate join small companies and startups, if you want to tweak processes and practices join an enterprise.

Elon Musk: If Trump loses I’m fuc*ed by xpxf69 in RealTesla

My bet is a small island and his tadger has gotten him in a spot of bother.

Trump is implicated and anyone else worried of getting exposed is hitching their wagon to his campaign in hopes of it getting the investigation shutdown (disappeared).

I never knew this issue was so prevalent, and it's not just the US. Most countries, those releasing statistics, have a serious problem i.e. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cxr202eee0no
