I don't like my job (yiffit.net)

Not just my job, but the entire industry I'm in. I get paid really well, and I like some of the fine details, but overall I don't like it. My skill-set isn't very transferable either.

What is your skill set?

Programmable hardware (FPGAs) with a little bit of embedded software and miscellaneous associated technologies and needs.

Maybe you need a business coaching session to see what possibilities there are for starting your own business?

It's not that easy. I know because I have a similar background

This is weird because in my region, this is the first time in, I don't know how many years, that hardware roles are more in demand than firmware roles.

I guess it's a new cycle of product development that started this year.

I just wonder if a good coach might identify ideas that would help.

how bout you design a smart doorbell that can launch a video stream in under 5 seconds?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Funny you mention a doorbell; I used 3 pi-0ws (front door, back door, chime) to make a wireless doorbell for my parents. No video or notifications, just a remote chime. That was a fun project.
