I have worked on AI for the last twelve years because I believe it could dramatically raise the quality of human life. I’ve written often about these incredible benefits: I believe that AI could cure most major diseases in the next 5–10 years, greatly accelerate economic growth rates, create a world of abundance and empowerment,…

This project demonstrates a real-timemotor vibration anomaly detection systemusing an STM32 microcontroller, GY-61 3-axis accelerometer, Arduino IDE, and NanoEdge AI. The system captures vibration signals from a rotating motor, collects normal and abnormal operating data, and uses NanoEdge AI Studio to benchmark and select a suitable Machine Learning library.

TL;DR: We built a software factory to automate mechanical work across the SDLC. Over eight months, size-adjusted output per developer grew 4.5× while merge times and revert rates fell. We added agents wherever work was piling up, rather than automating in lifecycle order, and kept engineers responsible for product decisions, architecture, and production risk.
