If I Do More Steps That Counts As A Skill

Regular devs: stepping on a rake, getting smacked in the face, debugging for 6 hours.

Meanwhile, "prompt engineers" have somehow turned typing "make it better" into ChatGPT into an extreme sport. They're out here doing parkour, grinding rails, pulling off sick tricks—all while the rest of us are still trying to remember if we closed that database connection.

The joke here is that prompt engineering has been elevated to this mythical "AI Wizard" status, complete with LinkedIn titles and conference talks, when it's basically just... asking nicely? With extra steps? Sure, there's nuance to crafting good prompts, but watching someone add "AI Engineer" to their resume after spending two weeks with ChatGPT hits different when you've been debugging segfaults since 2008.

The real skill is knowing when to use the rake and when to do a kickflip over it. Or just use Stack Overflow like the rest of us mortals.
