I agree with you, but I think you should read the article. The author makes this exact point: "Much of it is coming from individuals who are peddling around an awful lot of "Prompting" and very little "Engineering"."

Basically, the author is arguing that just fiddling around with the words you enter in a ChatGPT window is not prompt "engineering". Instead, he talks about some specific techniques for e.g. blending prompts, indicating some words deserve more attention, etc.
