> New here comes the race to create prompt engineering books
Let's call it "Language [based] Programming", LP for short, as opposed to "prompt engineering" and "programming language". It's programming, in language. Not just prompting, it can be multi-step, involve multiple models and plugins, have branches and loops. And it's not just a new programming language, it's the Language itself.
I feel like there's a difference between prompt engineering, and just plain being good at prompting. Prompt engineering is when you code up stuff in things like langchain and pinecone to query documents or databases the model wasn't trained on. Being good at prompting is not a unique skill, it just takes experience with the model. Whereas engineering a way to prompt the model in way you aren't able to - that is prompt engineering. Or maybe prompt hacking?
