Why is prompting for 8 hours easier than coding for 8 hours?

Is it because the prompts matter less?

I find the opposite to be true. I'm much less in control when prompting than programming. So I can be much more in the flow during programming and 8h (well stopping to lunch) can be no issue. I feel bad prompting 2h straight.

I don’t know how any engineer can claim this. Is this guy even reviewing his “output”?

You have to take a lot of these comments on this site with a grain of salt. These guys are not pushing out stuff they are professionally liable for.
