optimizes gate arrays while you sleep
You write hardware description language code to configure logic gates. Then you simulate, synthesize, and debug timing constraints.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still intuit which obscure hardware bug is caused by a phantom voltage drop.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 5
AI models flag your syntax errors before you even save.
Month 4
Autonomous agents optimize your logic gates better than your macros.
Month 9
Neural nets write complete testbenches covering every possible state.
Month 14
Smart algorithms solve timing closure without your manual tweaking.
Month 19 · D-Day
The compiler now writes the hardware directly from high-level specs.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
