I concurrently prompt a senior human programmers and a set of AI programmers and the difference is the following:
The human applies critical thinking, questions choices, suggests his own ideas and has a certain taste. I also can prompt him, leave for 2 weeks, come back and have a result. And I can trust that it works! Velocity is OK. I often wish he would be faster :-)
The AI needs baby sitting and steering. It codes like a champ but I cant trust it. So we have 2000+ unit tests to make sure stuff worlks. The AI happily goes down into any rabbit whole I send it, so I need to constantly steer it. It has no taste st all, essentially everything is „A great idea“. However, its velocity is awesome. We build tons of featurs in no time. but lets not talk about the code, ok? :-)
I dont think Ill fire the human nor the agents. Both bring a lot of value
- olmo23 29d agoI would be extremely offended if I heard someone claim they "prompt" me. It's very disrespectful.
- lmf4lol 29d agoIt was obviously meant as a funny joke ;-) But on a more serious note. Humans "prompt" each other all the time. Especially in a Boss->Employee relation. Defintion of "to prompt": 1. To cause or inspire: To make something happen or motivate someone to take action. For example, a loud noise can prompt you to look outside. 2. To assist or cue: To help an actor or speaker remember forgotten lines or words.
