"Donald Norman argued in 1991 that tools don't amplify cognition … they change the task by changing its representation. A checklist doesn't improve memory. It gives you a different task: read and follow. The system sees enhancement. The user sees new cognitive demands. Precomputation … building representations once, reusing them across people and time … is the mechanism. Context engineers rediscovered this 35 years later."

As they say, there's nothing new under the sun. I admit though, I'm ignorant on what is the big takeaway here? I'm not yet a practitioner of context engineering, so maybe that's why I don't see it.
