The post declares “RIP Prompt Engineering” and introduces Context Engineering 2.0 as a better way to think about human-AI interaction.
- The underlying argument is that prompt writing is no longer the whole game.
- Instead, the emphasis shifts to how context is structured, preprocessed, and delivered to the model.
- The linked PDF is described as a 28-page explainer on that framing.
