last week my GE refrigerator stopped working and sent clinking noise from the rear.
I did some research and found the solution: the controller board malfunctioned.
So I ordered it from Amazon and it will be my exercise in labor day.

this controller board is even more interesting: image is here

The fun part of IoT and embedded is a lot of times you're working very close to the metal, and you can't rely on things like an operating system and graphics drivers - you have to write them yourself (or find code that's already written in some cases). I have a graphics library I wrote which I've been using for about 2 years both professionally and as a hobby. I've extended it in that time to support Unicode, TrueType, SVG, PNG and JPG. I liked writing all that code. I hated documenting it[^]. I'm working on documentation for my user interface library that builds on top of it right now and it's a slog.
Testing it is at least as bad. I can't decide which I hate most. Probably testing, considering I enjoy writing at least. I've got some unit tests for my major library, but I haven't written it to cover the absolutely vast surface area of my test matrix.
Design is typically fun for me, but I feel like every third time I think I'm clever it bites me. Lately the above user interface library has been kicking me in the teeth, requiring me to make breaking changes over several iterations of the code. I'm not thrilled about it, but it's better than testing.

Definitely documentation, I'm terrible at it!
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

I hate documenting my code, but I enjoy writing technical articles. I've tried using codeproject articles to document my code, but in the end I found they were at best supplementary.
Now I've taken to using markdown and generating a wiki web from it using Gatsby. Markdown is at least easy to format, and I can do it all in VS Code, putting the markdown in a /docs folder under the project. I even have a server script that repulls my doc updates from git and pushes them to the web.
Markdown, once you know it - and if you use a preview extension with it, is a nice way to document. It's now used all over the place, including Github, and it's also easy to read even if you don't have a markdown display app.
I know it isn't the silver bullet you and I are hoping for, but I like it a lot better than trying to fill in the blanks with something like doxygen.

I just started using VS2022 for a serious project and I was amazed when I went to add my source to git, it automagically pushed my code to github and set up the ?site?.
So I broke down and learned enough markdown to create a readme page and it wasn't to bad.
Technology is progressing but not to the stage where I can tell the IDE what I want and it produce it, document it and push it to github and recommend a good place to eat. Is that really too much to ask?

I'm still waiting for the flying car the science fiction authors promised us.
Or wait, I'm too young for that.
It looks like we're getting that cyberpunk dystopia they mentioned instead.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Hell yeah.
McAfee is installed at work and we have had really weirdo things happening... everytime we do get a "not so logical" thing, the first we do is to deactivate it for an hour (the only thing we can do due to server policies) or check the second most common cause... the windows updates.

We use Inno Setup for our product installers. One day I was working on an install script and compiled it. I got a popup message from McAfee claiming a real-time scanning violation. Inno Setup closed up. I restarted it, and the source for my install script was gone, as were a number of the files included in the install. McAfee had terminated the Inno Setup compile process and deleted all of the files (including source code) that process had opened. I only lost an hour's work, but still.
My problem report to IT was... flammable.
