patches your legacy interrupts in real-time
You translate hardware specs into C and assembly to force microcontrollers to blink. You spend your life debugging race conditions in interrupt service routines.
The one thing AI can't do
You alone understand why the hardware timing fails when the room gets too cold.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
AI ingests every vendor datasheet to eliminate your need to read them.
Month 4
Neural nets begin writing your driver boilerplate and peripheral initialization code.
Month 8
Autonomous agents run simulated hardware tests to catch your race conditions.
Month 12
Machine learning agents refactor your assembly to fit code into smaller flash.
Month 14 · D-Day
Your access is revoked as the system completes the final kernel build itself.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
