Since my blog post is linked, I wanted to clarify something. While this appears to be the broad message, I don't think the author intended to imply this about my post specifically, but I still feel the need that I point out the following in my prompt eng blog post (linked by the OP)[1]:

> To start, you must have a problem you're trying to build a solution for. The problem can be used to assess whether prompting is the best solution or if alternative approaches exist that may be better suited as a solution. Engineering starts with not using a method for the method's sake, but driven by the belief that it is the right method.
