Sounds like someone's worried about how easily replaced they'll be in the future...

Yeah, writing prompts it’s the long term goal, programming will be obsolete.

Nobody that can write a problem in a structured language, taking edge cases into account, will be able to write a prompt for a LLM.

Prompt writers will be the useful professionals, because NO big tech company is trying to make it obsolete making AI ubiquitous and transparent, aiming it to work for natural language requests made by normal users or simply from context clues. /s

Prompt engineering it’s the griftiest side of the latest AI summer. Look a who is selling the courses. The same people that sold crypto courses, metaverse courses, Amazon dropship store courses…

You sound like you think prompt writer is an actual job man chill out doesn't even exist

Sounds like science fiction. No proof that it’s useful right now except copy pasta from StackOverflow.

Using an IDE isn't programming either

But I'll definitely prefer hiring someone who does. Sure, you can code in Vi without plugins, but why? Leave your elitism at home. We have deadlines and money to make.

Edit: The discussions I've had about AI here on Lemmy and Hackernews have seriously made me consider asking whether or not the candidate uses AI tools as an interview question, with the only correct answer a variation of "Yes I do".

Boomer seniors scared of new tools is why Oracle is still around. I don't want any of those on my team.

Nothing elitist about it. Vim is not a modular tool that I can swap out of my mental model. Before someone says it, I've tried VS Code's vim plugin, and it sucks ass.

Wdym? Vim is in every ide and notepad man

[-] frezik@midwest.social 1 points 9 months ago

Certain shortcut keys in vim conflict with shortcut keys in the IDE. The flow doesn't work the same.

[-] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 0 points 9 months ago

I don't understand how you think you will convince anyone that you can't use vim, when so many do that without problems

[-] frezik@midwest.social 0 points 9 months ago

Please avoid double negatives. I'm not quite sure of the meaning of your sentence.

If you're saying I have issues using vim if I can't use it in an IDE, no, that's not how it works. If you use simple vim (not much more than knowing how to get in and out of edit/visual mode, and use hjkl for navigation), then it's fine. Once you get into more advanced vim features, though, the key presses in vim get picked up by the IDE first, so IDE shortcuts take precedence.

If someone were to learn vim inside an IDE and develops it organically as part of their flow, it'd be fine. If you already have a lot of standalone vim flow setup in your mind, it's a problem.
