Prompting Over Programming

The post argues the entry‑level skill for software is shifting from traditional CS problem‑solving to directing AI with natural‑language prompts ('vibe‑coding'). As models absorb more implementation detail, many developer roles will revolve around specifying, auditing, and iterating AI outputs rather than writing code from scratch. — This reframes K–12/college curricula and workforce policy toward teaching AI orchestration and verification instead of early CS boilerplate.

The article argues creativity depends on externalizing and recombining knowledge (Tiago Forte’s 'second brain'), which parallels the existing idea that entry‑level software skills shift from low‑level coding to orchestrating tools and prompts; both forecast a redefinition of baseline competencies toward tool orchestration and knowledge‑management.
