Beyond Prompt Engineering: The Role of Tacit Knowledge in Software Engineering

AI is making software generation faster, but speed does not remove the need for expertise. As more work is delegated to AI, tacit knowledge may become one of the most important human advantages in software engineering. The post Beyond Prompt Engineering: The Role of Tacit Knowledge in Software Engineering appeared first on GPT-Lab.
