If people feel that they need to learn different language patterns in order to communicate effectively in their native language with an LLM then I'm not sure if I agree. I think that if your native language truly was a programming language then there wouldn't be any need for prompt engineering.

Regardless, I think that programmers are quite well-suited to the methods described in the article, but only in the same way that programmers are generally better at Googling things than the average person; they can imagine what the system needs to see in order to produce the result they want even if that isn't necessarily a natural description of their problem.
