My company is increasingly pushing prompt engineering as the single way we "should" be coding. The CEO & CTO are both obsessed with it and promote things like "delete entire unit test file & have claude generate a new one" rather than manually address test failures.

I'm a 'senior engineer' with ~5 years of industry experience and am considering moving on from this company because I don't want

1. Be pushed into a workflow that will cause my technical growth to stall or degrade 2. Be overseeing a bunch of AI-generated spaghetti 2-3 years from now

Feel free to address my specific situation but I'm interested in more general opinions.

This AI nonsense has infected every company and everybody is an "AI expert". You can't escape it and you'll be at a competitive disadvantage at another employer when starting from scratch. The thing about this AI fad is that nobody has really figured out where the real utility is to be gained and how to reduce costs from that.
