patches kernel faults without a reboot
You write low-level C and assembly for microcontrollers. You debug register states and hardware timing issues using oscilloscopes.
The one thing AI can't do
You can sense when a specific trace impedance is causing the weird noise.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 6
AI models start autogenerating your basic driver boilerplate code.
Month 5
Smart vision systems analyze waveforms to identify electrical glitches instantly.
Month 11
Unified firmware layers remove the need for manual register tweaking.
Month 18
Simulated hardware environments catch all your logic bugs before compiling.
Year 2 · D-Day
The compiler now outputs perfect machine code without human oversight.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
