<p>I&#39;ve said what I can about &quot;prompt engineering,&quot; why the idea is facile nonsense, the complete lack of theoretical and empirical basis, and the organizational impact of promoting on the basis of &quot;prompt engineering&quot; skills.</p><p>But there&#39;s something else to be said, I think, about the underlying fallacy that makes &quot;prompt engineering&quot; appear to be real: namely, the incorrect assumption that LLMs can be &quot;programmed&quot; at all.</p>

If I have the time/energy I sort by &#39;most thumbs up&#39; in my repos and that gives me a good sense of what people care about. Throwing an existing issue to the top of my notifications is actively counter-productive: it provides me with no new information, stresses me out, acts to indicate that the person doing it believes that they are The Main Character. It&#39;s a very American customer-is-always-right mindset, applied to free labour.</p>
