Prompt engineering? Proof reading? That's so last month, who even does that anymore? What a nerd.

All this condescending drivel about how "anyone who still writes code by hand is a loser, but not me, I'm a prompt engineer because I'm smart and forward-thinking" is so painfully tone-deaf, as if this "prompt engineering" has any lasting value and isn't just a momentary stepping stone towards a techno-feudalist future where every tech company consists of a small group of very wealthy executives, typing what they want in plain words into a text box and having the AI do everything for them, with no need for anyone below them.
