@toast I don't want to sound like "prompt engineer" is a real job but asking questions to an LLM is in fact a skill and can produce wildly different results depending on the quality of the questioning. there is basically probably ten people on Earth that could synthesize concepts from both Fuschia and SEL4 OS and none of them have time to talk to me, but the LLM at all their source code and gave me actionable insight. Sometimes it's wrong, but the gains are way bigger than the downsides. you learn how to mitigate that too.

@sun @toast tbh the term prompt engineer is dumb. Simply knowing how to ask the right questions just means you have a better understanding on how to use the tool.

Me knowing how to hold and use a wrench correctly doesn't automatically make me a mechanic either. It just means i know how to use a wrench.

@fristi @toast the term prompt engineer is a joke that people that really hate ai decided to act like it was real. but yes vibe coders that don't know shit are a real thing but we can just call them frauds
