>> what if we treated prompts as the actual source code?

And they probably will be. Looks like prompts have become the new higher-level coding language, the same way JavaScript is a human-friendly abstraction of an existing programming language (like C), which is already a more accessible way to write assembly itself, and the same goes for the underlying binary code... I guess we eventually reached the final step in the development chain, bridging the gap between hardware instructions and human language.

C, JS etc. Are abstractions in the Dijkstra sense. Coding agents aren’t.
