Love this. Context engineering will become similar to industrial and process engineering, in the sense that those latter disciplines emerged as there was a requisite and desire to optimise and get the most out of the machines that had taken over mechanical labour. Now, context engineering is emerging similarly because we want to optimise and get the most out of the machines that are taking over coding — the mechanical labour part of software engineering.

I think we will start to see frameworks/best practices/companies that specialize in helping generate and format your business data into context for models (it's already happening). This Cognition article wasn't about context engineering per se but it discusses different strategies for generating context (like a small model generating an md file of suggested changes) that might be interesting: https://cognition.ai/blog/dont-build-multi-agents#principles-of-context-engineering
