    Let’s assume this is true, just for discussion’s sake. Who’s going to be writing the prompts to get the code then? Surely someone who can understand the requirements, make sure the code functions, and then test it afterwards. That’s a developer.

      I think that’s the point? They’re saying that those coders will turn into prompt engineers. They didn’t say they wouldn’t have a job, just that they wouldn’t be “coding”.

      Which I don’t believe for a minute. I could see it eventually, but it’s not “2 years” away by any stretch of the imagination.

        Definitely be coding less I think. Coding or programming is basically the “grunt work”. The real skill is understanding requirements and translating that into some product.
