Perplexity AI recently open-sourced Bumblebee, a read-only supply chain scanner written in Go 1.25 that audits MCP servers, dependencies, and editor extensions.
Great read. The core premise hits hard: modern capitalism isn't about rewarding production anymore - its about rent-seeking middlemen (Amazon, giant supermarkets, Uber...) extracting wealth by acting as gatekeepers.
At $0.20 in 1k quantities, this is TI's answer to the CH32V003, Puya PY32, and the STM32C0 series. It's great to see tier-1 silicon vendors participating in the race to the bottom for jellybean microcontrollers.
The 1KB of SRAM is admittedly very tight (even WCH's 10-cent RISC-V parts usually give you 2KB), so you are strictly in bare-metal, carefully-managing-your-stack territory.
