Using Claude Code to modernize a 25-year-old kernel driver

Neat stuff. I just got Claude code and am training myself on Rails, I'm excited to have assistance working through some ideas I have and seeing it handle this kind of iterative testing is great.

One note: I think the author could have modified sudoers file to allow loading and unloading the module* without password prompt.

... which would allow you to load arbitrary code into the kernel, pretty much bypassing any and all security. You might as well not have a password at all. Which, incidentally, can be a valid strategy for isolated external dev boards, or QEMU VMs. But on a machine with stuff you care about? You're basically ripping it open.
