Look on the bright side, if your principles are really good (by which I mean reproducible and high quality), then you should be able to use LLMs to crank out the boilerplate faster than the young folks who have no principles or work experience to lean into.

However, if you disclose this, expect large companies to demand your prompts as their work product, which will diminish the moat that you, as a craftsman, have created.

Unless you intend to do so, don’t accidentally turn your craft into a mass manufacturing template, that’s all I’m saying.

Prompt Engineering will probably become a thing.

I don’t think prompt engineering will be a valuable skill

I mean its more like a $40,000/yr job or an odd gig job here and there

If you want to capitalize on AI prompts you have to do it now in a venture
