I literally put my foot down with one of my fellow developers about a year ago, because we kept wasting 30 minutes everytime we'd discuss some bug, because he'd be referring to SD132v2, SDK11, NRF52832, but since I was developing for a client that day who prefered SD132v3 SDK12 NRF52832, I kept saying "dude, I promise you that bug does not exist", while he keeps screaming "bro, I've got the breakpoint hit right now!!!".

Our solution was to standardize all of our conversations, by first saying, 52-132v3-12 has this bug, yadda, yadda. And that worked great for a couple of months, until Nordic decided to release a better product, the nrf52840, but couldn't find enough courage to make a unique name for it.

So, I predict that in the very near future, Universities everywhere will make Linear Algebra and Deep Learning prerequisites for Introduction to C and Embedded. Because thats the only way you'll ever stay ahead of anything for more than an instruction cycle.
