pretty nice summary. i noticed most similar postings are all about js/python/ruby here, i'm an embedded linux hacker and i wish there is a place we can talk about both hardware and software for products, not just the web, maybe it's time to create one?

I'm a ruby developer but I'd be very interested in learning more about embedded programming.

Definitely agree, though I have more a machine learning background. Simple serial port connections are so foreign to me it is bothersome.

I too work with embedded linux and arm9's ... HSI has a few people of embedded domain hanging around, so just post what you feel is good and people are there.

what is HSI? these days I have to join various groups/lists/ircs/etc to interact with embedded world, but nothing like hacknews to spur innovation and new ideas... i have been thinking about building a vendor-neutral site for folks that want to bridge web/UI to embedded devices.

Your comment, apart from "pretty nice summary", is talking about something totally unrelated to the posted article. You should have made a separate "Ask HN" thread.

As far as discussing hardware goes, you can post articles yourself.

This is a great article, Sidu. All of your points speak true to what I have learned going through the same process. I've only been doing the business thing for about 10 months, but already I notice a difference in perspective when speaking to non-entrepreneur engineers. Thanks for writing this.

I agree, sorry.
