    I always see the software working people go nutty for the new hardware and dohickies.

    Meanwhile a lot of people I knew who worked on hardware live in the woods “off grid”.

      I know a hardware guy that lives on a farm and uses raspberry pi for his garden hoses.

      If by “software” you mean Web or Java or something like that, then, well, for the purpose of this conversation they are enthusiasts.

      While people working on hardware are forced to get some understanding of how the world around us works.
