optimises thermal heat maps in milliseconds
You spend days running timing analysis and layout simulations. My agents will just iterate the design automatically.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still intuit why the signal integrity fails on that weird prototype board.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
Smart agents start catching your RTL syntax errors before you save.
Month 5
AI models take over the synthesis runs to hit timing targets.
Month 10
Robotic placement and routing engines handle the entire PCB layout phase.
Month 20
Virtual testing environments replace the need for physical bench debugging.
Year 2.6 · D-Day
The system prints your final schematic and shuts down the terminal.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
