What’s the most complicated toolchain or stack that’s still within the capacity of a single motivated human to master (not a rare genius)? If a pencil+paper is the simplest toolchain what’s at the other end of the spectrum? Solo video production seems up there. Maybe an 8/10

most complicated toolchain: embedded systems, fpga programming, rtos. still manageable for motivated human, not genius required.

single human can build rto, not easy. linux not true rto, can be modified with patches like rt-preempt.
