I’ve repeatedly noticed that even the most skilled programmers can yield ‘mediocre results’ when there’s an absence of a requirements engineer or product manager. These roles are crucial for translating managerial requests into very clear requirements and/or user stories that define the desired functionality. Edit: Restructured the comment. —- I penned the following thoughts yesterday in a discussion on using AI as a programmer. Despite subsequently deleting my comment, I believe it’s pertinent to repost here due to its relevance to the topic at hand: My success with AI integration as a programmer heavily depends on the precision and clarity of my prompts. These prompts often mirror detailed requirement documents, specifying what I need the AI to generate. However, crafting such specific prompts can pose a substantial challenge. For individuals who find it difficult to express their needs succinctly and clearly, the benefits of generative AI might be limited. It’s a tool that necessitates a particular skill set and comprehension to leverage effectively.
