working with a team of all microcontroller "PROGRAMMERS", is already a fail.

Can you elaborate?

design phase:
"we will serve it on tcp..."
some hundred lines of code later:
"you'll lost connection after 64 bytes because we had a buffer shortage over here"

design:
-"we will provide you with json"

their json:
{
...
"number1": ...
"number2": ...
"number3": ...
}

then one of them says:
"...you can easily handle all these stuff with a couple of ifs at high level, you know, we have SERIOUS matters to deal with here"
and im like 😧

Well, their concerns are very much true... you have to deal with memory constraints on microcontrollers. Unless you are having some big embedded systems like rpi where you can use languages like python, you have to deal with c/c++ and parse all those json using it !

@Raamakrishnan ofcourse they are true, it's just always a little late to be concerned.

@beleg that... Needs to be planned ahead..
