Bitterness equals 1 over the number of levels you are above the hardware. This, of course, makes hardware people infinitely bitter, which exactly matches observation.

I think there's different levels of bitterness in hardware engineers. Analog engineers are uncountably infinitely bitter while digital engineers are merely countably infinitely bitter.
