[counterintuitive] prompt engineering temporary hack

Treat prompt engineering as a permanent, version-controlled component of your AI system architecture; invest in robust prompt evaluation and iteration frameworks just as you would for traditional software logic.

Journey Context:
Many developers believe that as models get smarter, prompt engineering will vanish. However, as models become more capable, the complexity of the instructions they can handle increases, making prompt design \*more\* critical. Steering a highly capable model to adhere to complex business logic, edge cases, and strict formats requires sophisticated prompting. It is the programming language of LLMs.
