you are on the right way if using HAL feels like cheating! i always recommend starting with implementing a UART bare metal, since you will need a UART for debugging / talking with the chip all the time.

Many thanks for the interesting article! I normaly don't read any articles on AI here, but I really liked this one from a technical point of view!

I am a young developer (22y) but find me almost all the time using "old" frameworks / programs form the unix world. i find most of the modern tools just overwhelming and hard to debug due to the increased complexity. or me, Unix is like a construction kit made up of individual components that simply work, Do One Thing and Do It Well - this always ensure that you can just clue that stuff together.

I am always amazed that many of these things (Unix, C, IP, Ethernet) were developed in the 70s/80s and are still relevant, useful and today. At that time, people also had a technical interest in developing software and had to deal with very limited resources, maybe this is no longer the case in many cases today

i am helping maintain a big automation system for a customer which is generates several million in sales per year and is built just with simple unix tools, perl, mqtt, nginx - a very low tech stack - running on a small 2 core machine.

the cloud-based solution that existed before had enormous performance problems, ran unreliably, was difficult to debug and was several times more expensive in terms of both development and running costs
