Because we (software engineers) are much better at providing the necessary context (both technical and business) to LLMs. We are also much better at breaking problems in smaller sequential steps because we (sort of) understand how the machine works

have any of you met someone whose title was prompt engineer?
i never met one, or looked at a job posting, but when people told me about it I assumed that they were still programmers but their task was to optimize prompt inputs to LLMs, which itself can be an iterative optimization process
