Caterpillar

Over the last 1.5 weeks or so, I've been looking at Caterpillar from a business perspective. And from that angle, it seems like game development is a difficult market, while firmware development might make a lot more sense.

And I haven't even been covering all that's relevant. For example, firmware development as a use case for Caterpillar could tie very well into a service offering that shares the same audience (small businesses developing hardware products) and technical underpinning (Embedded Rust).

And yet, I think I've convinced myself to stay focused on game development, for the time being. Because, while a switch to firmware development seems like a very good idea, I can't think of a compelling reason for why that switch needs to happen right now. There's a cost to switching, as well as benefits to staying the course.
