i see a lot of grey hair in the embedded systems world. my vantage point is probably skewed but it seems that bare metal skills are getting rare. my client ask me how to find new folk and i really can't say... amazing people on twitter though. all are busy.

Might be interesting to start with compiling existing resources. There is already a ton of material online, just not easily discoverable. Also many different voices, disagreement on how to do things. Narrowing scope is going to be difficult.

Examples of recreations? I mean, tbh I'm pretty bad when it comes to re-implementing things... So I hope we mean patterns here, not code reuse. I do see a lot of good stuff in the Rust embedded world, but have not used it in anger yet...

Rust takes the edge off. Gives more people access to embedded development, together with a community and some best practices baked in. What I don't know is how do you teach someone to break out? To dive into assembler? To know when to remove printf because it's too big? Etc...

Maybe the latter is better suited for a mentoring setup and not a formal class. It is true that the need for low level knowledge would diminish if e.g. Rust is enough. I find it hard to tell because I rely on the arcane knowledge a lot during debugging for instance.
