Michelle Sun argues that software engineers should pivot into hardware because the biggest opportunity of the next decade is putting intelligence into physical devices.
She points to robots, drones, autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, medical devices, energy systems, and wearables as areas that need engineers who understand electrons as well as abstractions. Her core point: software creates leverage, but hardware is what lets teams ship the machine, and the two compound together.
