[counterintuitive] Is prompt engineering a temporary hack that models will outgrow

Treat prompt engineering as a core, permanent software engineering skill akin to API design. Invest in robust prompt versioning, evaluation frameworks, and structured output schemas.

Journey Context:
Many believe that as models get smarter, they won't need carefully crafted prompts. However, as models become more capable, the complexity of the tasks we assign them increases, requiring equally sophisticated instructions to constrain outputs, manage tool use, and orchestrate multi-step workflows. The interface between software and neural networks will always require structured, precise communication.
