I find a large part of depression is not being able to recognize the "sometimes" aspect of your second point. The author isn't pushing happy rainbows - "any time I was struggling, …

The entire premise of this argument is flawed. Cost of capital (or even of shipping) likely has nothing to do with the decision: - the value of an extra 25 days of product developm…

No, typically it's a separate chip, like the NXP PN65

I had the same initial reaction, but upon visiting a few of the domains the caliber of the companies became apparent.

It's also surprising that the author credits Intel with the invention of ISAs. Sure, x86 is now the dominant ISA in many markets, but the notion of abstraction from hardware implem…
