Everyone's Upgrading From Prompt Engineer to Context Engineer. They're Still Missing the Point.

A new title is going around. Not "prompt engineer." That one is getting retired. The people who took it seriously two years ago are now quietly rebranding. Context engineering is the upgrade. The idea is that better results do not come from better prompts, they come from better context. You feed the model relevant information, you structure that information well, you stop asking questions and start building environments. That part is correct. It is also not enough. I have been building AI systems since before context engineering had a name.
