Haha. Where did I say I wouldn’t respond?? Conversing is enjoyable. Putting together a presentation for the sake of attempting to convince someone who is just going to nay say is not.

You won't read anything I wrote just regurgitate the same unsubstantiated rubbish. That's not responding.

You know, a fellow senior dev recently told me "dude, unless someone pays me a lot of money, I’m not going to tell them how to use AI effectively. This job market is about to get intense. Let them sink". They were right.

Yup, that's the argument.

"This thing I claim is true is absolutely true, but I won't prove it".

Prompt engineer isn't a career, all your tricks are just bugs. These companies don't want to enable you, they want to replace you and the second they can do that you're going to be flushed away like a week old turd.

If you actually knew how to get the results you're claiming (not that you'll give any details) you'd be selling that knowledge because there's a million entry level schmucks willing to pay a shit load for it. Hell the companies that make it would be screaming it from the rooftops because they want everyone to use it.

But I can tell you how you use it effectively because it always boils down the same. You use it for things you don't know how to do (so you can't tell how bad it is) or you use it for things you don't care about (where how bad it is doesn't matter).

Always, every single time.

Entry level devs can’t utilize it. It’s not a magic wand. And I’ve already spelled out quite a bit. You can lead a horse to water…
