In 2024 I saw a reddit post answering the question: AI is going to program insert name App.

Response: "What's the prompt?"

Yep. I might take minimum wage interns and make million dollar software(or million dollars in 2023), but they often run into issues that a 5 minute review with me solves.

I do wonder if AI is going to eliminate prompt engineering... It's basically all I have left. I feel like I have magic words.

I can't think of how it'll really eliminate prompting, but needing to carefully phrase your language already seems in the way out? Wasn't one of the prompts leading to solving fields problems just "look for fields problems and try very hard" or the equivalent

  • Why can't I prompt. "Make me a million dollars, no crime" and it work though?

    • I mean you can, but you're asking the wrong question.

      What number in line do you expect to be when asking the same prompt.

      For example, why wouldn't OpenAI ask that first long before you get a chance at the model?

Yeah, I was explaining this as magic words. It seems like knowing `pandoc` means you can convert any kind of document into any other kind of document.

Knowing uv means you can scaffold any python project. docker lets you build any infrastructure kit.
