alt Hacker NewsPity, prompt engineering is just another kind of programming, I find it to be fun, but I guess lots of other people would see it differently.

Indeed it is another kind of programming, I simply don't enjoy it.
But it is also very early to say, maybe the next iteration of tools will completely change my perspective, I might enjoy it some day!

Programming without flow state. Nice.
The venn diagram of engineering and prompting is two circles, maybe a tiny overlap with integrated environments like claude code.
A program, by definition, is analyzable and repeatable, whereas prompting is anything but that.
