[counterintuitive] Is prompt engineering just a temporary hack that fine-tuning will replace
Treat prompt engineering as a core systems design skill; build robust prompt management and evaluation pipelines rather than waiting for models to just work.
Journey Context:
As models become more capable, the way we instruct them becomes more important, not less. Complex agentic workflows require precise system prompts, tool definitions, and state management. Fine-tuning cannot dynamically adapt to real-time API changes or user state; prompts can.
