I still believe in writing good prompts or good instructions. Bad prompts can sometimes blow up the bill. A poorly written spec can waste a lot of tokens

Definitely. But the special knowledge how to talk to a certain model is usually not worth it.

Being able to write clear, always is.

Sure but lets not pretend this is engineering.

    Then let's not pretend what software engineers have been doing for the last 50 years is engineering, either. But what else would you call it?

      I agree, which is why I prefer to say software developer rather than engineer.
