Prompting code isn't everything
The next-gen engineering superpower isn't just prompting code.
It's about solving the right problems, designing systems, and using agents to accelerate (not replace) builders & creative solutions.
Here's what top engineers already know: • First principles > framework expertise • Problem identification > implementation • Design thinking > stack mastery
AI will automate the mundane. But it can't: • Interpret complex user needs • Design maintainable systems • Make critical architectural decisions
The future of engineering looks different: • Less time writing code • More time on user problems • Closer collaboration with design
Engineers who thrive will focus on: • Creative problem-solving • Optimized system architecture • UX • Smart trade-off decisions
Engineering is becoming more about design thinking than just “do it”. And that may be exactly what we need.
