If you want to play true Scotsman, the embedded devs like to make fun of the web devs for being scared of bitfields and refusing to do logic with anything other than string matching and manipulation.

. . .

Secretly it's partially because we're absolutely terrified of strings in any form and simply refuse to use them.

There are a lot of sub disciplines to the field, some benefit a lot from GPT or blindly copying from SA, some don't, but that's ok either way. Keep your skill sets broad and you'll survive.
