Prompting is just as labor intensive as writing software. The only effect it has is making writing software boring and unrewarding. We're literally just making things worse (again).

>>109458874I'm less concerned about this. We're likely to see the floor of commodity hardware get raised to the point that it's normal for consumer devices to be holding terabytes of DRAM. Eventually multi-trillion parameter local models will end up being a thing, and it's probably not even that far off. Maybe 10 years?

It only feels unrewarding to me if I am fighting deadlines and not allowed put real effort into my work. It was like that before AI and now with AI. AI just amplifies what I can do by an order of magnitude.
Nah I recently started using an agent and now produce my daily output in 1 hour (the rest is meetings).The holy grail would be to also set up a staging agent which can go beyond unit testing. If that ever works without giving the security people an aneurysm, its gonna be just tickets in -> features out
>>109458795No.Prompting is a much WORSE job than writing software.With software, you write shit in computerlang and it does literally exactly what you told it to (of course it doesn't do what you WANT it to do, if you shat the bed and didn't write correctly, but whatever).With prompts, it's like you're talking to a person. You have to structure your REQUESTS, not even your ORDERS, as if you were talking to a real person.Nothing scares programmers more than having to talk to someone else, even in writing, whether it's a real person or an AI.
>>109460622>prompting is much worseanon, you're literally just writing pseudo code, in syntax.the next step from that is to convert the pseudobenchode into actual code.its actually easier>source>idk, i can't program
>>109460622>anon says this with a straight face while writing multiple lines to talk to other anonsYou're already proompting us, anoone.
