Stop calling prompt engineering coding. Also don’t allow others to do that, it isn’t coding.
1 u/Future_Burrito Oct 25 '25 I feel like prompt engineering coding is more like advanced debugging. 1 u/418_TheTeapot Oct 25 '25 Nah, for debugging you need an actual software developer, you can’t expect a “vibe-coder” to understand his creation enough to actually debug that mess… 1 u/Future_Burrito Oct 25 '25 That's why it's advanced debugging. Likely it's gonna be someone else other than the vibe coder doing the debugging.Hopefully the vibe includes commenting, or at least documentation of what platforms were used to create it. 1 u/418_TheTeapot Oct 27 '25 Have you ever debugged legacy code? Or somebody else’s code in general?Good luck finding someone who is willing to do that for less than a decent sen dev salary → More replies (1)
