"Prompt "engineering" and working around your tools will be over in a year or so." What do you mean by that? What is happening in just over a year or so?

What do you mean by that? What is happening in just over a year or so?
- arglebarnacle 3mo agoThe models are getting better at agentic coding, so over time using complicated harnesses and precise prompt engineering to attempt to squeeze out an extra X% performance will become irrelevant as the models approach expert-level performance. The bitter lesson in miniature.
- trees101 3mo agothere will always be a difference between the general capabilities, and the particularities of your exact environment and requirements. Closing this gap is done in the harness, either through Skills, user behaviour/prompts , Agents.md etc etc. I think that this is an area worth investing time in, but it is indeed hard to know what the scope of this is.
- aenis 3mo agoI think Fable gave a bit of a sneak peek into the future. My objective KPI: for the few days I was using Fable (18hr a day), it would frequently push back against my design ideas and propose alternatives -- and they almost always felt better to me. Back to Opus now, still 18hr days - and I dont think it disagreed with me meaningfully even once since Saturdy. I consider myself and old hand -- and i think Fable really didn't need me to be very specific in my prompts, it would have done a good job regardless, or even despite my prompting. Of course whether this is the future is anyone's guess. Maybe we will experience a butlerian jihad and there won't be any prompting whatsoever for completely different reasons :-)
