Software Development Shifts to Prompt Engineering: AI-Driven Development Revolution

Based on real project experience, the author reveals the trend of software development shifting from traditional code refinement to prompt engineering. With AI assistance, projects are broken down into multiple stages, each equipped with specialized prompts to ensure AI generates complete and runnable code. Prompt engineering has become the core of projects, significantly lowering the development barrier, requiring only environment deployment and AI communication. In the future, prompt engineering will become increasingly important, potentially emerging as a new form of open-source software where prompts are the programs. This insight reveals how AI is reshaping the software development process, offering developers new perspectives.
