Everyone is like "AI is going to take my engineering job" - yes, probably yours. But the reality is, the future of AI driven software and architecture in theory you can say is "context engineering", or engineering various "pipelines" of contexts and formats of data transformations. AI Data Engineering? Idk.

But you can do absolutely crazy shit if you're creative.

EDIT:

By the way I just took a look at your tool, I think it's shit. Sorry.
