Jacob Beningo interviews John Taylor about his book 'The Embedded Project Cookbook,' drawing on Taylor's 30+ years in embedded systems. Key topics include building and testing software before hardware is available, challenges in requirements gathering, using a GM 6000 digital heat controller as a reference design, the advantages of C++ over C for type safety and encapsulation, and the growing but still limited role of AI in embedded workflows. The book targets software architects and tech leads looking to improve project planning, documentation, and code quality.
