Claude Code Implementing Z80 Emulator: antirez's Clean Room Programming Experiment

The Redis Author Had AI Write an Emulator, 30 Minutes to Run Through All Z80 Instructions

Redis founder antirez used Claude Code to implement a complete Z80 emulator in 30 minutes, passing the ZEXALL full instruction test. He designed a strict clean-room experiment: first had AI organize documentation, then cut off the network and implemented from scratch. Result: 1200 lines of code, zero bugs, and顺便 also built ZX Spectrum and CP/M environments.
