validates netlists while you are still sleeping
You draft schematics and optimize chip layouts for power and performance. You chase elusive timing closure errors daily.
The one thing AI can't do
You can intuit which obscure manufacturing constraint will actually break the physical tape-out.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 3
AI models start autocompleting standard cell placement routines for you.
Month 4
Verification engines identify DRC errors before you even click run.
Month 10
High-level logic is directly converted to optimized silicon by software.
Month 15
Iterative timing optimization becomes a background process run on clusters.
Month 18 · D-Day
Human input in circuit design is officially marked as legacy overhead.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
