The author argues that AI coding tools, while increasing development speed, are shifting engineering bottlenecks rather than eliminating the need for fundamental knowledge. These tools can accelerate tasks, but a deep understanding of engineering principles remains crucial for effective problem-solving and guiding AI assistants. As AI handles more routine coding, the value of core engineering concepts is expected to grow, not diminish. AI
