It's no coincidence that the US is perennially split down the middle, 50/50 red/blue, swinging back and forth between the two. The whole idea is to keep the country divided and to motivate you to vote. You need to pick a team

I was trying to compare equivalent professions across time periods, not to suggest that welders are any different than developers. I would not be surprised if modern day welders get offended by their equipment manual as well.

by thunky 3y ago
So you're saying people as a whole don't change behavior over time? It's not possible that the average modern software developer is just a bit more sensitive about their work than a welder was in 1950?

That's hilarious. Prompt engineer jobs are already becoming obsolete.

Oh but you're missing the upside: now we can sell "handmade" software and charge extra for it. Just like soap. And even better, it can be less effective and have a shorter shelf life.

Imagine a course called "Google Prompt Engineering". If nothing else, the word "engineering" feels like a huge stretch. Fwiw also not a big fan of the "Software Engineer" title as it's commonly applied.
