I'm a dev, obsessed with ai, I'm building a startup around it now, I think of prompt engineers like spaghetti coders writing very insecure and buggy WordPress plugins and themes and calling themselves an engineer.

I've worked in PHP most of my career, but there's more engineering in an mvc than using an auto install script and installing and configuring, plugins.i guess my point is, I kinda just roll my eyes anymore.

I feel the same way with prompt engineers who don't know how to use langchain or llama index etc and aren't working on some kind of cognitive architecture to milk gpt4 for all it's worth.

tldr: I think prompt engineering is a great, legit field, but half the people in it are pretenders, although, if they can use gpt half as good as they claim, then gpt can handle most of the coding etc.. so it's probably easier to blur the line a little.
