I'd actually say what really makes an excellent engineer stick out among many great engineers, is their ability to communicate clearly and knowing what needs to be communicated vs not, basically being way better at language and communication in general, and they also understand the important of it.

I agree. But I was talking about the "super secret" ability to write prompts, which pretty much anyone can do.
My point being that not everyone writes as good prompts as everyone else, the way you communicate, how clearly and how exact you are matters a lot, much more than you seemingly is under the impression of.

Same goes with the "LLM does web design" example from before, a web designer with great communication skills in web design, will (naturally) have a better prompt for something that'll potentially could look good, compared to a web designer that isn't at good at communicating what they actually want.
