One human is building a game about fighting back.
Closing the loop between code and metal.

compiles firmware directly onto bare metal
Engineers bridge silicon-to-hardware interfaces, firmware drivers, board bring-ups, and debugging hardware-software handshake protocols. They translate abstract code into electrical signals.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still physically re-solder a trace when the trace density exceeds modern assembly capabilities.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
Code agents standardize your firmware style before you even hit the build command.
Month 6
Digital twins replace the physical test benches for validating your gateware and timing constraints.
Month 13
AI models correlate logic analyzer captures to source code bugs without human intervention.
Month 20
Neural nets write the hardware abstraction layers and register maps based on spec sheets.
Year 2 · D-Day
The system self-assembles the PCB and flashes the firmware without ever needing a human handshake.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
