I once had the chance to work for BMW in Ulm when Nokia's office closed there and they took up a lot of programmers. It was all pre-Tesla (or so early that nobody knew IIRC) and yet right then they were talking to us about how their whole computing architecture had to be totally changed. Instead of lots of isolated microcontrollers with code written in assembler to get good performance out of cheap hardware it was all going to have to become more centralised, linux, high level languages, integrated. But for a quirk of fate I might be there now.

It makes me wish we could see into the parallel universe where we made a different choice. I wouldn't change, because I have a child now, but apart from that I might.
