I'm sort of there myself. I can't run .NET on most of the hardware I target these days.

It's hard to install the runtime on 128 kB flash, and it doesn't run smoothly on 6 kB of RAM

Can you imagine a garbage collector working with 6kB of RAM? haha

I have never seen a job advert for the work you do, ever. Not to say there isn't a market for it, but I think your work is a very specialized and isolated market.
.net (.net stack) is super huge in the market where I am at. C# is bigger than any other language right now, next to Java.
perhaps its just location too. like real estate - location, location, location.

So far I'm seeing a ratio of 2:1 for embedded vs Java/.NET job offers, it may be due to location (northern Italy has a lot of industrial, aerospace and automotive companies) and search bubble but I remember it being this way since 2010 at least.
If I had better electronics aptitude I would make a killing.

I've never seen one either. I got my current gig by being scouted here.

I have not used Perl since 2012. I could never kill off old lady Perl. Fond memories of her and I. Did I ever tell you the story when she and I once...

When I woke up, someone had put a teabag in my mouth.

Just be thankful that you weren't teabagged.

I said the same thing earlier, but deleted my post. Not entirely sure the people on the other side of the pond know what that means.

Oh they do, assuming we think it means the same..
|
|

And if I suppose you put the tea bag in yourself and someone else took it out, would thay have mugged or de-mugged you?

A bit of an experiment here, and what better way to get people involved than with a generous dollop of click-batey title
I am interested in seeing how well the UI handles a post that has all (or most of) the reactions selected.
For those that don't know, there is a button just to the left of this post that allows selecting 1 of the 12 available emojis. Can you select more than one per user? Good question, I have no idea!
As far as I am aware I gain no reputation or other benefit from reactions on this post, other than to satisfy my curiosity. So this isn't some "farming trick".
UPDATE Apparently we do get rep from reactions. I promise to use any donations responsibly 
It would also be fun to see how easy it is for "voters" to keep the selections balanced, though I expect the lounge isn't active enough for it to be too difficult to keep them at 1 vote per reaction.
UPDATE This part is a bit pointless now as I realised it's very easy to change your reaction, which makes it very easy to keep them balanced (assuming that is your aim of course).

The imoji click has been around long enough to be modified, updated, and refined.
I find it incredible they you've not tried to see the result of trying a second clicked selection.
I also find it incredible, although not impossible, that you haven't observed their reflection in rep-points, both for the clicker (1) and for the poster (various).
So perhaps your real experiment is to see if any of will believe you ( . . . ever again . . . ).

Literally only thought of it while I was typing the post and only because I wrote the bit about a 1 in 12 choice that made me question if that was actually just a single choice. I just assumed it would be 1 per user (like voting) and had never before thought to test it. Or even, perhaps I did test it before and just forgot I did... it's hardly a life changing memory I will always cherish!

Had no idea. I don't much care for my reputation points so I never notice them change. It's not like that "36.2K" at the top of my screen changes often enough for me to take any interest in it. In fact, I was fairly certain I had read a post at some point on the lounge with someone saying users don't get any rep for them. I must have mis-remembered that though as I have no reason to doubt you.
It's also interesting that you suggest the poster gets different points depending on which reaction is used... they seems a very strange choice in my opinion.
So there you have it, you have had 2 "incredible" experiences in such a short space of time. You're welcome! I wonder how that makes you react? 
P.S. If it is possible, I am willing to donate any rep gained from this post to a nominated charity. Do we do "bounties" on here?
