Embedded dominates programming.

Is that really true? I would have thought it was website programming.

A lot of companies don't want good programmers, they want programmers they can control. Even if that means hiring a lot more of them.

He's making things up. He doesn't "burn through money with this tech," he quotes things he read elsewhere and tries to pass it off as his own experience.

Yes, it already has. Ultimately it speeds up boilerplate code, and reduces the need to read documentation to figure out how to do what you want.

I don't understand what is wrong with you all that you spend such a large percentage of your time writing boilerplate code.

Probably, but if the lawyer indicated it was ok, then I'm willing to mostly give the guy a pass.

If my lawyer tells me something is legal, I will probably believe it too.

our next model will be good but, more importantly, show the rapid trajectory we're on,

That statement shows that their next model will not, in fact, be good; otherwise they would focus on the goodness not the trajectory.

When I want to develop a linux kernel driver, I would go and look how other drivers are implemented. Is that stealing?

Maybe not stealing, but depending on your output it could be a copyright violation.

The normal way to avoid copyright violations is to perform a clean room implementation. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...

On that ground alone, the book should be thrown at the guy.

The guy maybe should get light punishment, but his lawyer should be disbarred. (Or whatever the equivalent is in the UK.)
