I Used AI to Reverse-Engineer a 1990s Lemmings Clone. The Irony Will Break You.

📅 July 26, 2026 📂 AI & Machine Learning

I used Claude Code with Ghidra and DOSBox MCPs to reverse-engineer undocumented Adlib and Tandy sound routines from the original Lemmings DOS binary. The AI generated a working HTML5 port — but it only runs on Chrome Canary with an experimental flag. This proves AI agents can autonomously decode legacy hardware, even if the delivery mechanism is still broken.

Stop Learning the Hottest Tech. Start Doing This Instead.

📅 July 14, 2026 📂 Systems & Hardware

Every hot technology you learn today will eventually be dead — Flash, J2ME, Delphi, EJB. But the logic behind them survives in the next generation of tools. The only skill that compounds is understanding first principles: abstraction, state, modularity. Stop chasing hype. Chase the logic that outlives every framework.
