Hello /prog/,
Could you please explain in ways a software engineer would understand what exactly do hardware engineers do? I've heard of languages such as VHDL and Verilog, are they actually used or do they draw circuits manually? Do they test hardware through emulation or do they use FPGA? Is a VLSI chip just a big ASIC?
