I wonder where are all the jobs are for a device driver engineer. The company recently changed my job title from a generic name (Network software eng) to what I actually do. And I updated my LinkedIn to reflect this, I have noticed a 75% drop in people looking at my page since doing that. Seems not to be a great number of jobs as a device driver developer.
This brought memories back for me, years ago there was a small VHS store that stocked a lot of these. Looking at there catalog is like a trip down memory lane.

Visitor Q
I still love using Arduino to this day, after first using it in collage many years ago. The simplicity is just great, and people without any experience in electronics or software can start using it very quickly. So I feel a little bit sad for this guy as he seems to not get the deserved credit, I certainly never heard of him before. I was aware of some connection between wiring and Arduino, but did not know Arduino basically ripped off his code/idea. That makes me feel a bit better about buying the cheaper Chinese knock offs, which I always felt a bit guilty about doing.
Yes, I mention people had the option to present or not. Only 1/3 of my team signed up, but that was fine. Only the people who were interested presented, but the whole team actually joined to watch which was completely up to them also.
I was randomly chosen to come up with an event for my team, a couple of weeks ago. Our team had recently doubled in size, and I have never met some of them face to face. So I decided to come up with a 1 1/2 slot, where a team member could present something about themselves. Be it a hobby, interest, holiday, interesting story, game you played e.t.c. people were given the option to join and watch only, or present. a
About a 1/3 of my team volunteered. So we had around 10 presentations. I personally presented my beer brewing hobby. At the end people sent me there favourite (I like to call them lightning talks) and who ever got the most won some money. It was great. Found out stuff I never knew about people. And the winner was a guy who did wood carving in his spare time, particularly
Daenerys from Game of Thrones. People who were from other countries talked about there homes and some about photography, there was a guy who talked about his heavy metal interest, another archery and the others were interesting to.
