> as i’m learning how to prompt well

Prompting isn't a real skill and you're not learning anything.

"Claude 4.5 Sonnet operator" is not a job description.

I’m finding fewer and fewer people that need convincing that there’s some value in coding agents and prompting skills at this point. To the point where my reply to this is quite simple;

You’ve been left behind and at this very late point in the game i feel no obligation to even try to convince you.


> there’s some value in coding agents

Sure. There's always some value.

> ...and prompting skills

"Prompting" is not a skill. Put it another way: there's no reason for an employer to pay you a salary for "prompting", because "prompting" is something that literally everyone can do.


Left behind in regards to _what_? The "optimal" workflow for these things seems to be changing every week.
