Reverse-engineering is cheap now
- 20th July 2026 I keep hearing anecdotes from people who used coding agents to reverse-engineer and automate devices in their homes.
- I think this is an interesting illustration of the impact of the reduced cost of writing code.
- Prior to agents, it was entirely possible to reverse-engineer home devices.
