Pulling from my hardware background...
When you design with FPGA's and write code using HDL (Hardware Description Language; Verilog, VHDL) you learn to write code the compile will use to infer the hardware structures you are after. Despite what it may seem, you are not programming, you are describing hardware and, in some cases, use use idioms or structures that will result in the desired outcome.
In some ways prompt engineering can be thought of as learning how to cause the AI to deliver the desired result using the most efficient prompt text.
