What it does
Know your motor will overheat, your battery will sag, or your drivetrain won't couple, before you spend weeks and a BOM finding out on the bench. Hardwave lets you compose your actual hardware system in Python and stress-test it in software first. As real bench data comes in, fold it back into the model so every iteration starts smarter than the last one.
Hardwave is the open-source Python library and cloud platform for simulating, testing, and managing hardware systems — from resistors to robots.
Python system simulation for founders and founding engineers building custom electromechanical products. Don't throw away what the bench teaches you. Model your system, then fold real bench data back in so it gets sharper every build. In hardware, you usually don't know something's wrong until you've already built it: ordered the parts, soldered the board, powered it on, and watched a motor draw twice the current it should. Hardwave moves that moment of truth earlier. You describe your circuit, motor, or control system as code, and Hardwave tells you how it will actually behave before it costs you a shipment or a week. Describe a resistor, motor, or microcontroller as a typed Python…from hardwave.dev

- IWI wrote down every expensive hardware development mistake I've seenMar 2026 · thehardesthardwarelessons.com · ▲11
I've spent years watching hardware teams make the same mistakes — tooling committed before thermal was resolved, manufacturing processes not validated in PVT that only showed defects at volume, components going EOL unnoticed until the factory tried to order them. The pattern was always the same. The costs were always avoidable. Nobody had written it down. The result is The Hardest Hardware Lessons — covering the full journey from first prototype to end-of-life: EVT/DVT/PVT, factory evaluation, supply chain risk, mass production operations, field failures, and product lifecycle…

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

OpenSEO▲928Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
