Prompting LLMs is not engineering published in: With the proliferation of AI models and tools, there's a new industry-wide fascination with snake oil remedies called "prompt engineering". As of July 2025 the term is now "context engineering" or "context prompting" or "context manipulation". To put it succinctly, prompt engineering is nothing but an attempt to reverse-engineer a non-deterministic black box for which any of the parameters below are unknown: training set weights constraints o

June 30, 2025 5 minute read Context Engineering is new term gaining traction in the AI world. The conversation is shifting from "prompt engineering" to a broader, more powerful concept: Context Engineering. Tobi Lutke describes it as "the art of providing all the context for the task to be plausibly solvable by the LLM.” and he is right. With the rise of Agents it becomes more important what information we load into the “limited working memory”. We are seeing that the main thing that determine

Dead Fish, Salton Sea - 1983 Richard Misrach In Big Agile, engineering = new features. Whether you’re looking to track story points or adherence to roadmap or deployment velocity, there’s a “developer productivity dashboard” for you. In fact, there are about $200b worth to choose from, all promising to make you better, faster, and cheaper. There’s just one problem: they don’t work. Engineering productivity can’t be measured by tracking new features. Engineering is not a new mobile app. Engi

This article was originally commissioned by Luca Rossi (paywalled) for refactoring.fm, on February 11th, 2025. Luca edited a version of it that emphasized the importance of building “10x engineering teams” . It was later picked up by IEEE Spectrum (!!!), who scrapped most of the teams content and published a different, shorter piece on March 13th. This is my personal edit.

First 2D, non-silicon computer developed

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-09 22:26:43

The team used metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) — a fabrication process that involves vaporizing ingredients, forcing a chemical reaction and depositing the products onto a substrate — to grow large sheets of molybdenum disulfide and tungsten diselenide and fabricate over 1,000 of each type of transistor. By carefully tuning the device fabrication and post-processing steps, they were able to adjust the threshold voltages of both n- and p-type transistors, enabling the construction
