I'm sure there will be some overlap, but prompting is sufficiently different from programming that I think a lot of skills will not translate.

- CuriouslyC 4y agoThey will, because you need to know to prompt for (as an example) "a real-time data-tracking and reporting application backed by a column database with logical replication fed by a task queue, having an isomorphic client cached across multiple regions via a CDN." Without the engineering know-how, your "write me an app that displays data from this source in a dashboard" prompt might work, but it won't be robust and when it doesn't work you won't be able to figure out why.
- fipar 4y agoYeah, forget responding to prompts, I want to see A”I” respond to pages to troubleshoot its prompt-generated software. “The machine stops” will seem optimistic in hindsight!
