Linux device driver development is a rare skill. You’re fine. Linux isn’t getting anywhere, and device makers are still making devices.

There are talks about moving drivers to Rust, so that’s probably the next thing you’ll have to learn.

Rare skill, but small market, right? I had experience with IBM FileNet process maps and Neoxam. There are very few opportunities there.

I guess I would just say be careful or you'll end up like me - starting over and over without any real future.

This was my current idea, I would like to start doing some Rust development. Is there any open source projects that might be worth contributing to?
