"Using open source code is a skill: knowing how to navigate repos and someone else’s code, understanding how to troubleshoot and navigate communities to get help, discerning between quality projects and junk… this experience is a hard-won component of being a modern software explorer. It can take you further than you might realize, past mere bits and into the land of electrons and atoms."

Very wise words. Coming from sw/hw industries I probably could work around heat pump microcontrollers without too much hassle and I well know the pain of physical components messing up your debug process. But such industries rarely rely on open source, and all the OSS I used was for personal projects. That is definitely a big limit for my future work opportunities! :/
