You do realize this comment is going to pull the exceptions out of the woodwork?

I wrote all of the software for the first version of the Teledyne Lumenera Ethernet cameras. Everything from assembly codes in the bootloader to CSS in the on-camera web pages. Heck, I even had to review and debug the PCB design before I could start.

I don't think this is a particularly uncommon experience. Embedded development usually has very small teams, and very often the hardware has HTTP API's.

P.S. I'm available for work. Information in profile.



Heh, oops. Should have seen that coming.

Yeah, it's probably my personal bias showing. I'm fine with most parts of the stack (like you, down to PCB design), but UI/GUI/WUI work is an area that I try very hard to avoid.


I'd rather avoid UI work too. But if it's part of an otherwise very interesting project, count me in.
