Probably the key to eventual clarity is at PJRC's forum. PJRC makes Teensy. Imho it's a great product, and the owner, Paul Stoffregen, a great engineer and person from my experience using their products.
1. SparkFun and Adafruit are in conflict
2. SparkFun manufactures Teensy under license from PJRC
3. SparkFun cuts off Adafruit as a reseller
4. Adafruit can no longer sell Teensy
5. Adafruit posts on PJRC forum announcing an open-source Teensy competitor
6. Paul posts that it's outrageous in terms of etiquette that they're announcing a competitor on his forum. Adafruit's own forum only allows discussion of Adafruit products.
? This may be one of those "90% of the audience doesn't care and is increasingly less likely to buy from either vendor the more they fight in public" situations
Almost none of the domain knowledge came from Claude. This is something I did by hand 40+ years ago (an assembler and a disassemble/debugger, which is in parts similar to the emulator)
This time it was almost as fun : 1/8 of the mental effort per line, x 8 the speed.
rule #1 of ai programming: read and approve everything before accept.
rule #2 do not let it write commit messages - i did not know notice that until many commits later. they are horrible. change 10 things - writes about the last one, too peppy too.

He's allowing it despite mixed feelings.
