When I first came to HN, I didn't know what `hn`, `pg`, or other initialisms meant. But I saw people boasting in the new vocabulary of "full stack developer." And I assumed that if companies loved "javascript down to redis" that they would really love that I could do front end all the way down to embedded development. Think of the problems all my full stack knowledge could solve!
- IC design software (at a startup bought by Cadence)
- an IC (contract out of Dallas semi)
- FPGA HFT acceleration
- fixing some OS drivers for Windows CE
- finding a compiler bug
- various bits of embedded firmware in C and assembly for various platforms
- debugging with a scope
- desktop applications
- a web server (defunct ZWS)
- web apps (Perl. Long time ago)
Somehow I've never written a react app.
