This was roughly my experience building in hardware 10y ago. 

Some combination of less generalizable knowledge, culture that’s skews more secretive and very few at scale companies that discover the true magic

When I was at Meta, I asked the hardware team what I should read to learn the details of modern consumer HW development so I could work more effectively with them. The consensus was that there really isn’t good literature; you just have to “be there”. Has anything emerged since?
