Tired: Proclaim yourself a "10x engineer", capable of mastering any new technique/language/abstraction in mere hours where it would take a normie dev months.

Wired: Self-denigrate your own coding skills to brag about how, thanks to your amazing prompting skills, you got "AI" to code a whole new app for you in hours instead of months, because it saved you from all that reading and learning you would have had to do otherwise...

From #10Xer to #PromptFondler, a tosser remains a tosser ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#PromptEngineer is such a stupid term, feels like it’s made up to enable black-box-whisperers to convince themselves that they’re actually doing something skilled as opposed to bullshitting their way through the AI hype wave. #PromptFondler or #BotLicker seem much more apt
