Riskv still has a long way to go
Yes lol this. The best use case I've seen for riscv was a usb to uart adapter. What they did is took a cheap riscv, WITH BLUETOOTH, and clone it to make it look like a ftdi.
They just DNPd the Bluetooth! And it was cheaper than a legit FTDI chip.
What do you mean by this?
What projects you think can go viral catch on and keep growing?
What is taking us so long?
I still think this is a while away as hardware is a whole other level of complexity.
Not to mention lower level development on hardware is a die'ing art supplanted by people that want to get rich quick doing react and quick saas websites. There is a skill set about _how_ it all works that is no longer needed.
I fell into this trap for years, only in the last year have I gotten serious about trying to learn a lot of lower level stuff. I have a long way to go.

Already happening with 3D printed guns. Next step is 3D printed circuits.
