Programmer or prompt engineer?
A hot potato:Generative AI is disrupting a lot of areas, especially the programming industry.
Some have even called English the hot new programming language.
“We have democratized computing in a very, very large way.”
Like Huang, he calls this the democratization of coding.
Microsoft owns GitHub Copilot through its GitHub subsidiary, of course.
Then there’s Sundar Pichai, who recentlyrevealedthat 25% of new code Google creates is written by AI.
“Coding” was never the source of value, and people shouldn’t get overly attached to it.
Problem solving is the core skill.
Experts also say that a high level of coding is necessary when it comes to complex, large-scale software.
As Huang put it, “There is an artistry to prompt engineering.
It’s how you fine-tune the instructions to get exactly what you want.”
Some in the industry say AI is good for programming, helping speed up the process.
