...Any advice for someone with infinite theoretical (but relatively
little empirical) knowledge? Any words of wisdom
...
Welcome to the list. It'll prove to be a valuable resource in times of
need.
You're ahead of many of us in the game by knowing infinite theoretical
knowledge of the hardware/software industry--many of us have to research
that angle. You'll pick up the practical knowledge as you go...just get
lots of hands on experience with all that you're writing about and
researching.
Best wishes,
