> Real engineers write their compilers in assembly.
Not sure where this misconception comes from. The engineering department mostly relies on Verilog twiddling, shoddy Spice models, debugging prototype boards with poorly crimped jumper wires, charged capacitors scattered around with no adults in the room, and freshly minted junior EEs who forget spice models and Verilog hacks aren’t the real thing.
You have the wrong department. Software development is down the hall to the left. Those folks down there don’t even have an engineering degree.
I've recently done a bit of work on Rust in something like embedded systems. Only instead of real hardware, we are running our software on Zero Knowledge VMs, ie on math.
