What you're describing focuses too much on the implementation on a specific platform. It's true that each vendor will provide their own way of doing things (perfectly normal), and things will change as well (also expected). But you have to also keep in mind that there is a lot that can be learned about the Bluetooth protocol and technology itself that is independent of the platform its implemented on. If the develope…
Believe me, I stick with Nordic, and I think they stand the best chance at success. My overall point is that the system is basically at the point where it is nearly impossible to be a generalist, and very painful to be a specialist. So whats left? The release of SDKs, and softdevices, and silicon are accelerating. If you are supporting customers on SDK12, who have heard about the shiny new features of SDK14, by the t…

Some good points there. I agree that things are accelerating at a rapid pace that's hard to keep up with!
Our solution was to standardize all of our conversations, by first saying, 52-132v3-12 has this bug, yadda, yadda. And that worked great for a couple of months, until Nordic decided to release a better product, the nrf52840, but couldn't find enough courage to make a unique name for it.
So, I predict that in the very near future, Universities everywhere will make Linear Algebra and Deep Learning prerequisites for Introduction to C and Embedded. Because thats the only way you'll ever stay ahead of anything for more than an instruction cycle.
