So this is kind of fascinating if it doesn't make you angry...

There is a T1000-E RNode firmware port going on.  I know something about the T1000-E and various LR11xx and LR20xx Semtech chip drivers, so did some basic read-thru of the code.  There is an Agent log included that shows progress and testing performed during the software development process:

https://github.com/idan2025/Rnode_Firmware/blob/main/Seeed%20Studio/SENSECAP%20T1000-E/AGENTS.md

It's a little scary in the early portion where the AI was trying to build the firmware in /tmp and managed to wipe all the source code, but then retrieve it from the Arduino build cache.

I don't know the author, although I saw a comment that he is not a software engineer.  On the plus side, he seems to be doing develop and test cycles with AI, and the log shows the AI figuring out bugs.  (The fascinating / scary part is how some of the bugs are resolved but the descriptions use incorrect terminology for what was changed.  Sometimes the units of a modified parameter are mislabelled, for example, although the functional change is correct.)
