My views on career planning for microcontrollers

I have read a lot of posts about "similar to the way out of single-chip microcomputers" these days, and I feel that everyone is a little pessimistic. First of all, single-chip microcomputers are not omnipotent, but without single-chip microcomputers, we cannot do without them. From single-chip microcomputers NN years ago to single-chip microcomputers today, single-chip microcomputers are just single-chip microcomputers, and their nature has not changed much. It just returned to its original true face from the original "mystery", "huge profits", "interesting", etc. - that just shows that society is progressing, more reasonable and rational. It's just that the return now is a bit extreme, from one extreme to another. But on the contrary, the demand of society in this regard is getting bigger and bigger. At least in our lifetime, such an "automation" process will continue. So what do you have to worry about? Are you afraid that you will not be able to use your skills? ! Are you afraid that your salary is not high or not high? !

I have been working in the MCU and the industry I am familiar with for almost 10 years. I won't talk about my level. It's not bad, but it's also good. I should be proud when I should be proud, because it is an affirmation of myself. I should also be humble when I should be humble. After all, MCU is always a system engineering, and I am not familiar with and accurately grasp all aspects. If I want to do well, I still say that it is the best way to combine with the industry I am in.

Some people complain about the MCU in all aspects of society, but that is just a phenomenon or appearance. Or it is just pure electronic development or supporting products of pure electronic development, facing more intense competition. Don't say that you can only program and do some pure electronic work and think you are amazing. That's wrong. MCU system engineering is not that narrow. If you can't get out of this narrowness, then you are destined to be the one who complains. As I said before, the MCU is just returning to its original appearance. Another thing is that China lacks people who are still working on microcontrollers when they are 50 or 60 years old. Maybe that is also a process that the emerging China needs to go through? !
