> * The lack of open source hardware tools, workflows, high-quality examples, relative to the gross abundance of open source software, doesn’t help the situation, but I think it is more a symptom than it is a cause.

To this, I would point to librelane/yosys/TinyTapeout/waferspace and say there are quite a bit of opportunities to learn stuff and there are oss initiative trying to _do stuff_ in this field. I wouldn't know how it applies to the wider industry, but the ecosystem deff piqued my interest. I do write quite a bit of embedded systems in my day to day though, so I got a rough idea what is in a chip. Would love to have the time to dive deeper.

that's all digital though right?

Of the things mentioned, yes. But there’s opensource analogue stuff too. Still, even with the open source stuff that there is, it’s a hard hobby to get into from scratch. The barriers to entry are still relatively high compared to just whipping up a website or toying with a Raspberry Pi.
