The tools of today, even fucking Eclipse and gah Xcode from the early 2000s make programmers far far more than 10x more productive than machine code on punch cards. By your implied logic there should be a tiny fraction of the programmers th

Can you readily get an rpi4 anywhere? The Odroid C4 you can actually get is an alternative with 4 USB ports and an OTG that is gadget capable. Unlike older models, mainline Linux support is decent.
