<div dir="ltr">If you guys have not tried AI for development I suggest you do. In the last 6-7 months it has greatly improved to the point I have done entire projects without writing a line of code. <br><br>What this means is that Mbed, arduino, and other such "easy build" systems will be replaced with AI. <br>For example, I hated Zephyr RTOS because of the device tree mess, which in my opinion was a big design and implementation mistake. However with AI it is no longer a barrier.<br>Basically I tell AI to start me a zephyr project, give it a text file with the pin assignments and a few minutes later I have hardware up and running. <br><div>AI does everything from installing Zephyr, configuring device trees, building, flashing, etc. <br><br>Basically AI 3 months ago was at the level of a college intern, today it is at the level of a college graduate with a couple years experience. <br>It still makes mistakes, and goes off down rabbit holes. However, with some supervision and clear instructions and enabling it to see its own errors it can get the job done. <br><br>Also another great thing is that it knows git. I no longer have to look up git commands, I just tell AI what to do. <br><br>I personally thought about learning Rust awhile back, but quickly realized it was a waste of time. With AI the programming language is no longer an issue. That is AI can check C code for memory safety and do everything Rust provided, even translate C to Rust. </div><div>As such AI removes the "coding" part of development and forces us to focus more on requirements and test cases. <br><br>I have been thinking about using AI to reverse engineer some 8051 assembly on car computers. However it is almost a moot point... </div><div><br></div><div>Trampas</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Feb 2, 2026 at 8:51\u202fAM Pete Soper via TriEmbed <<a href="mailto:triembed@triembed.org">triembed@triembed.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
