there's still the whole other world of coders doing "embedded" software. They are still happily bit fiddling in blissful ignorance of web development fads. I only do a little bit these days, but one of the micros I program only has 20bytes of RAM to work with and requires bit magic. :)

Sadly many these days conflate "embedded" with RPi, Beaglebone or some other SoC on a board...

Even the chips you find on your credit card have quite a lot of RAM these days, don't they?

In the automotive world (with the exception of infotainment and assisted/autonomous driving systems), ECUs have amounts of RAM measured in kilobytes, not megabytes. I've left the industry now, but I /think/ the powertrain ECUs I worked with usually had around 256KB of RAM.

That is a fascinating world to me. I've about 25 years C, rudimentary intel x86 asm and good ability to understand new hardware. Seems to me that at 40+ this is an industry that I could still be of use in. Any pointers?
