Context Engineering Emerges as Key AI Skill Over Prompt Engineering
The article argues that prompt engineering is reaching its limits as AI evolves, and the new bottleneck is context engineering—providing models with dynamic, relevant information. Context includes code, docs, and logs, and is continuously built and refined. The shift is driven by AI coding agents that gather context to make better decisions.

The piece correctly identifies a real trend, but the claim that prompt engineering is dead is overstated; both skills will coexist as AI systems mature.
