I’m an application developer by day, but lately Claude Code and Codex have finally made microcontrollers approachable enough for me to start tinkering with them on the side. I built this little “holographic” display that shows the surf forecast for any beach. While my friend built the casing, and mechanical part of it
I’ve been messing around with the BMAD process as well which seems like a simpler workflow than you described. My only concern is that it’s able to get 90% of the way there for productionized ready code, but the last 10% is starts to fail at when the tech debt gets too large.
Have you been able to build anything productionizable this way, or are you just using this workflow for rapid prototyping?
