It is ~a meme on subreddits that developers struggling to get good results out of any given model is a "skills issue."
But I think your comment drives at some authentic take on this. Skill with AI is not only crafting iterative prompts the agent will understand, but also very high domain-specific knowledge of what the prompts explore.
One without the other can result in frustration or worse.
A naive hope is: you see that the LLM is so good at coding that all you need to do is supply a "yes/no" on what you want.
Turns out that understanding the technical domain is important to getting good results, even if the LLM is more capable at producing output. -- It's still a case of "garbage in, garbage out".
I think for many newbies, they see the LLM is so good at programming and so figure they don't need to learn anything. Apparently not so.
