The pykerf release cadence (five versions in what appears to be rapid succession) screams either aggressive bug-fixing or incomplete planning—worth tracking to see if this stabilizes or becomes another abandoned project. Prusa's consistent firmware updates across Buddy, Marlin, and PrusaSlicer suggest they're actually iterating in lockstep rather than the fragmented ecosystem most printer manufacturers create, which matters if you're betting on long-term support. The magnetic core memory hack is pure hobby theater—technically clever, completely impractical, and exactly the kind of thing that gets cultural credit in maker spaces but zero bearing on what matters in 3D printing infrastructure.
