I've done embedded programming, but I just don't enjoy it. It's far too in the weeds for the type of simple tasks I want to do around my house. Every time I start with Arduino, I realize that I'm simply not having fun. Raspberry pie lets me work at a higher level that I actually find enjoyable. |

There's an alternate timeline where CPUs are really hard to make, so every SOC 'wasted' on a curtain-opener or a glorified doorbell deprives someone who badly needs a general-purpose computer and can't afford one. But in our timeline, every day probably a million perfectly good "computers" (cell phones, desktops, smart speakers, etc) get tossed in e-waste anyway, so it's not a sin to use an overkill computer for a task. (Ironically of course the Pi itself is in a shortage but... :shrug:)
