I have to scroll to read the whole thing

Favorite thing about dev:
the artistic creation aspect of it, and the immediate effects you can have on the physical world with embedded systems
Least favorite thing about dev:
explaining computational complexity, tell-don't-ask, and other software paradigms to non-software folks. Also the limitations of cross-compiling are annoying.
Tdd knowledge:
I went through the first half of James's book and tried it out with our system at work.
Why are you attending:
To make connections with other embedded developers and get more exposure to the use of agile methods in the embedded realm.
