The ****t is a hack. If someone is "dissatisfied with it", buy or build
something better.

That was your arbitrary choice to explain your subjects.
I can just assume you know what you are talking about.

Have you EVER wrote a instant messenger to ANY embedded device?
The embedded device use a PIC? Or either a Nintendo processor (if yes,
again, its a hack)?

As more you tell me about yourself, less I am interested in you as a
personal or professional contact.
Keep that to you, or cut the coffee before answer back. I am kind of
taking your thread seriously, so far.

So, try to plan where you will use your code. The nintendo choice
fails here.

How many embedded systems exists?
They are all the same?
Do you plan to reuse all the code of embedded systems again on, say,
PC?
Do you know what a project is? Solution, maybe?
Have you ever designed some hardware to a specific job
(power contactors/airplane CDU's/Black Box Firmware/Radar/Wireless
AP... something?)?
Do you know how reliable this need (demand) to be?
Think I should work with this kind of projects using ****table code?

Congrats! If you write some 362 more (just embedded... lets keep the
other domains out here, but ASM is included), we will have the same
experience!!

Ok. Do it.
Look Tom=E0s... I am really trying to get the "where we are going"
here.
The whole point is to convince people to code just as you think they
should?
