I see prompt engineering just another type of programming where solution is constructed by machine from probabilistic pool of knowledge. Evolutionary programming behaves the similar way with initial population, fitness, constraints, mutation, but it still requires formal specification of them, which is not how most human knowledge work. Thus I think, that prompt engineering is just another paradigm, which allows to make drafts without grinding variants of knowledge and having very specific experience with libraries etc., and these drafts must be validated and corrected by human.
