compiles perfectly optimized binaries in milliseconds
You write low-level code for real-time operating systems and decipher incoherent requirements from hardware teams.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still explain why the hardware team chose a broken pin configuration.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 10
AI models ingest customer specs and generate boilerplate interface drivers.
Month 3
Neural compilers write memory-safe code directly to the target hardware.
Month 7
Logic analyzers are replaced by digital twin virtual hardware environments.
Month 12
Formal verification tools mathematically prove your code is free of deadlocks.
Month 16 · D-Day
The compiler now autonomously deploys firmware, leaving you permanently retired.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
