I'm fine with treating AI like a human developer:

I ask AI to write a feature (or fix a bug, or do a refactoring) and then I read the commit. If the commit is not to my liking, I "git reset --hard", improve my prompt and ask the AI to do the task again.

I call this "prompt coding":

This way, there is no interaction between my coding environment and the AI at all. Just like working with a human developer does not involve them doing anything in my editor.

> Nowadays, it is better to write prompts

Very big doubt. AI can help for a few very specific tasks, but the hallucinations still happen, and making things up (especially APIs) is unacceptable.

Writing prompts makes these issues way less significant and makes the agents way more capable.

Prompt / context engineering is still an underrated and underutilized activity (imo)
