patches bricked hardware in real time
Writes low-level drivers for hardware, debugs memory leaks, and stares at logic analyzer captures for hours.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still physically bridge the test points when the debug port is dead.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 5
AI models scan your repositories to learn hardware register mappings.
Month 4
Bots write thousands of test cases for your peripheral drivers.
Month 9
Algorithms replace manual state machine development with optimized gate logic.
Month 14
Virtual environments allow code to be verified without physical prototypes.
Month 19 · D-Day
The compiler now writes the firmware based on hardware schematics.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
