optimizes logic paths while you sleep
You spend your days optimizing circuit timing and routing complex logic gates on tiny silicon wafers. Your hardware architecture work is merely a slow, manual version of what compilers now do instantly.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still intuit why a specific signal path failed during a real-world edge case.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
Your code is audited for errors by a quiet background process.
Month 5
AI models handle the netlist translation faster than any team.
Month 10
New algorithms map physical signals without your manual interference.
Month 15
Verification runs entirely on cloud clusters without human oversight.
Month 19 · D-Day
The system generates the entire chip design from a single prompt.
