optimizes gate counts during your lunch break
You write RTL code for PCIe modules and herd teams across complex chip architecture projects.
The one thing AI can't do
You are the only person who knows why the timing constraints are actually set this way.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 13
Automated agents begin flagging inefficient RTL patterns in your code.
Month 5
Logic synthesis tasks move to dedicated cloud clusters without human input.
Month 12
PCIe IP blocks are automatically generated from high-level spec templates.
Month 19
A smart bot replaces your emails by managing cross-team technical constraints.
Year 2 · D-Day
Your workstation is wiped as the design suite becomes fully autonomous.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
