This is not true. Most of the competition are clueless nepo babies who win by default.
The rest are people who have been programming embedded systems since they were 3 months old.
I believe the "competition" in the original context is Advent of Code, not the job market. As you can see most of those people already have good jobs, why would they need to compete with the likes of you?
You may be right. That does seem to make more sense.
Lmao. Imagine getting such a late start on embedded systems.
