Yes.

Yes.

There are. One is about how engineering is pretty cool and how technology is interesting and how you can make cool devices that interact with the world. And the other is about all the depressing stuff that happens in the world.

I hope ours is the former.

I like to say that I write software for things that aren't computers.

That pushes the definition onto what is a computer.

If you're working on servers, then developing an iPhone app is embedded. But if you've been doing 8-bit microcontrollers, anything with an RTOS doesn't really feel embedded. So it is definitely a loose definition, but the whole software for things that aren't computers... Actually makes you think about your microwave and your car and your toys if you have electronic toys for kids.

There's a lot there. And it's huge. I mean, there's all the sensors that get interconnected for science and for industry. And there's ICU devices. And I mean, I did actually work on educational toys and that was so fun. So it's a big field.

Well, I mean, I do it as a career. So most of the time people bring me ideas and I help them build their systems. I may have taken apart a few toys.

BB-8 was one of my favorite ones when it first came out. Figuring out how to get its IMU data and maybe control it so that it did weird things. That was fun. So I don't do a lot of hacking and reverse engineering except for my own amusement. But the same tools are necessary. The way that I reverse engineer a device is about basically debugging it without the code.

Well, I have a... autonomous underwater vehicle that I worked on last year. And it wanders around its area. For example, one is in the Monterey Bay in California. And it checks in with all of the various sensors that are on the seafloor. I also have worked on some of the sensors on the seafloor, measuring when we get big rainstorms, it changes how the mud And that is really hard to monitor.
