Context Engineering: The Skill Replacing Prompt Engineering in 2026
Context engineering is the discipline of systematically designing the information environment surrounding a prompt in LLM systems. This skill, expected to replace prompt engineering by 2026, focuses on what the model needs to know to perform well, rather than just what it should do.

Your LLM cost estimate is fine. Your rate-limit math is what pages you at 2am.
This article argues that while LLM cost estimates are a minor concern, rate-limits are the dominant failure mode for LLM applications in production. Rate-limit saturation leads to cascading failures, unlike minor cost discrepancies, and is often overlooked in planning tools.
