It’s well accepted in the developer community that Electrical Engineering is the toughest of the ‘tech’ degrees - part of the reason why graduates are snapped up by finance and software, rather than go to the natural calling into hardware. It’s a misallocation of critical human resources says this UK tech CEO. He’s not wrong, but hard to see what can be done about it. NB: this is a global issue btw software simply offers better pay / benefits / career than hardware, even though the latter is arguably more important.
