       GPT-Synopsys brings together OpenAI frontier models with Synopsys' EDA technology and domain expertise, enabling the specialized model [to] directly operate Synopsys' tools. Engineers will delegate design objectives … with agents running tools, interpreting results, implementing changes, and iterating toward verified outcomes for engineer review.
   
   

   “Agents will do all the engineering work. Engineers will delegate and review.” Lol, no, what the engineers are gonna do is get laid off.

      Eventually... But it is materially relevant if that happens in 2 years or 10.

      While I think SWEs(yeah, not HW/chip but that's not my field) are cooked in 5 years, I think we'll be quite busy in the meantime fixing all the bugs that AI finds.

         Maybe that's the job of software engineering moving forward.

         Client: Hey, we have got these 125 microservices created by our agents and for the last 25 days they got stuck and can't add any new feature without breaking things, can you take this?

         Eng: Sure, lets sign a 24 month contract, my rate is 250$/hr

         Client: Sounds good

            Eng: So I prompted Claude to turn the 125 microservices into a single Erlang program. Better not tell the client.
