Funniest or dumbest thing about people who try these sort of things is that no-one will employ them. Why would I employ a shitty prompt writer when I can write them prompt myself.

    I have no answer but I am frequently told that "being good with AI" is something employers look for, though I also see no evidence of it myself.

    Yes and no. Yes, they look for it, but they might be the problem why things don't work out with AI, too. The magic is just that the AI needs context, context, context. You will get a feel for how to prompt it to get something like the result you wanted. The problem is gathering and knowing all the things you need to account for. Code guidelines, style guides, architectural decisions, processes of your company,...

    That becomes a fuck ton of prompt text quite fast. It's a bit like onboarding a new hire. But for every task anew. If you have defined processes, good and up to date documentation, etc. It can be quite easy. But what company does really have that available?

    They are indeed aware that that they cannot produce the same results as a knowledgeable person. Some of them at least.

    Or the value their time to be worth more than writing prompts themselves.
