I've seen a lot of people hop into prompting with no trouble, and people who have been using it for years that get bad results. Ultimately, prompting skill is just downstream of technical communication skill. It's probably a good way to practice, if you pay close attention to what you forgot to specify, and what the model got wrong.

Programming is the ultimate exercise in technical communication, even if we remove the aspect of communicating about the software to other programmers or non-programmers. It's not just communicating to the machine. The architecture, organization, whitespace, naming, it's all about technical communication.
