This post has prompted me to give a reminder that one of the authors of AI 2027 predicted back in 2021 that "prompt programming" would be a thing by now.
It was already a thing in 2021 so not much of a prediction.
It was a thing in the sense that the promptfondlers were trying to portray prompting as a matter of fine technique and skill (as opposed to dumb luck mixed with trial and error with a few general guidelines that half work). It was not a thing then and is still not now in the sense that prompting has none of the skill or precision or verifiability or reliability of actual programming.
