Nah ! I am not convinced that context engineering is better (in the long trem) than prompt engineering. Context engineering is still complex and needs maintainance. Its much lower level than human level language.

Given that domain expertise of the problem statment, we can apply the same tactics in context engineering on higher level in prompt engineering.

This whole industry is complex and needs constant maintenance. APIs break all the time -- and that's assuming they were even correct to begin with. New models are constantly released, each with their own new quirks. People are still figuring out how to build this tech -- and as quickly as they figure one thing out, the goal posts move again.

This entire field is basically being built on quicksand. And it will stay like this until the bubble bursts.

Agreed. but making ENGLISH or any human speakable language as main interface shoul be given highest priority IMHO !
