Would you be willing to go into more detail about that claim?
CC seems best suited to situations where one or both of the following are true:
- presence of CI infrastructure
- the ability for the agent to run/test outputs from the run loop
If you're primarily working on embedded hardware, human-in-the-loop is not optional. In real terms, I am the CI infrastructure.
Also, working on hardware means that I am often discussing the circuit with the LLM in a much more collaborative way than what most folks seem to do with CC requirements. There are MCP servers for KiCAD but they don't seem to do more than integrate with BOM management. The LLMs understand EE better than many engineers do, but they can only understand my circuit (and the decisions embedded in it) as well as I can explain/screencap it to them.
The SDK and tooling for the MCUs also just makes an IDE with extensions a much more ergonomic fit than trying to do everything through CLI command switches.
The framing of your question as though I might possibly be hallucinating my own situation might be correlated to your lack of reply.
I didn't reply because I haven't had available energy to properly analyze your reply. At a glance, your reply does seem completely reasonable, which is why I upvoted it.
