[counterintuitive] Is prompt engineering obsolete with better models

Invest in robust prompt engineering and evaluation pipelines. Treat prompts as code that requires versioning, testing, and maintenance.

Journey Context:
The belief is that as models get smarter, they will just 'understand' what we want. In reality, more capable models are more sensitive to subtle prompt framing, leading to prompt injection vulnerabilities and instruction leakage. Prompting is the API for programming the non-deterministic behavior of LLMs, and structured prompting becomes more critical for reliable production systems.
