p.s. I don't get the pothead reference?
pothead == someone smoking pot
pot == marijuana
artists == potheads
Arduino made for artists
You get the idea? People completely stoned and then believing they are embedded engineers, just because they do the Arduino thing. This is like someone downloading a ringtone to his cell phone and therefore believing he is an RF engineer now.
I don't care if the potheads play with electronics. I, however, despise them, when they make a big fuzz out of blinking an LED, calling that a master thesis and getting a fucking masters degree in arts for this. They are like parents of a child that first manages to use the potty when shitting and the parents make a big fuzz about the shit. Potheads, I don't care about your shit. Keep it to yourself, so I don't have to face the shit and smell it.
And did you note that the Arduino "inventors" like to insult EEs? There is some whining piece out there where some of them makes fun of the way engineers attempt embedded engineering. Oh, these engineers actually think learning electronics is a good idea? How stupid of those engineers. Potheads. Would these fucking potheads had a little bit more clue they wouldn't have made so many mistakes with the hardware and software. Fuck, I don't tell these potheads how to do art. So please fucking potheads, don't tell me about how to do engineering.
And while I am at it, let me correct
Hey, is C++, just with the most stupid fucking name ever invented for a fucking programming language.
What was meant was
Hey,
it [meaning Wiring] is C++, just with the most stupid fucking name [meaning Wiring] ever invented for a fucking programming language.
And while I am still in the mood, do you believe the story of the birth of the Arduino? Do
you believe it? Fuck, I don't. Designed to meet the cost of a pizza? Ha, have you seen the original price of the Arduino, before the Chinese clones appeared? Must have been a fucking expensive gourmet pizza. Give me a break. That story of the pizza smells like a fucking marketing lie (Make PR department maybe?).
