autogenerates constraint files from vague thoughts
You script automation flows for chip design and debug synthesis issues. You spend days wrangling massive simulation log files.
The one thing AI can't do
You can sense when a synthesis result feels intuitively wrong before you run the DRC.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
AI starts fixing simple syntax errors in your hardware description files.
Month 4
Language models write your TCL scripts faster than you can type.
Month 8
Algorithms predict synthesis bottlenecks before the EDA tools even run.
Month 12
The machine runs thousands of chip variations while you sleep.
Month 16 · D-Day
The silicon design stack no longer requires human intervention.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
