Yeah, its those stories hitting the top of Hacker News that got me looking at modern uCs again, and thinking of a hobby-project to do with 2022-era tools. That page is still a bit out-of-date now. 2022-era uCs have taken a sizable step forward compared to 2018-era... though inflation / chipaeddon has made everything more expensive. But peripherals, power-usage, Flash/SRAM, etc. etc. are all getting better across the board. Its just one of those 'tredmills', you can never really be an expert on the market, cause the market of chips keeps changing so quickly.

Oh, chipaggedon... I was few weeks off trying the assembly service (think it was on seeed studio?) of small dev board, and then I realized near nothing I had on it was still in stock. Even managed to run Rust on the previous breadboard iteration of the project.

Sure but you can stay on same chip family for 10+ years and just grab new part when you need features. Especially on hobbyist level there isn't that much reason to chase the latest and greated
