+1 for "context engineering" over "prompt engineering". People associate prompts with short task descriptions you'd give an LLM in your day-to-day use. When in every industrial-strength LLM app, context engineering is the delicate art and science of filling the context window with just the right information for the next step. Science because doing this right involves task descriptions and explanations, few shot examples, RAG, related (possibly multimodal) data, tools, state and history, compacting... Too little or of the wrong form and the LLM doesn't have the right context for optimal performance. Too much or too irrelevant and the LLM costs might go up and performance might come down. Doing this well is highly non-trivial. And art because of the guiding intuition around LLM psychology of people spirits. On top of context engineering itself, an LLM app has to: - break up problems just right into control flows - pack the context windows just right - dispatch calls to LLMs of the right kind and capability - handle generation-verification UIUX flows - a lot more - guardrails, security, evals, parallelism, prefetching, ... So context engineering is just one small piece of an emerging thick layer of non-trivial software that coordinates individual LLM calls (and a lot more) into full LLM apps. The term "ChatGPT wrapper" is tired and really, really wrong.
I really like the term “context engineering” over prompt engineering. It describes the core skill better: the art of providing all the context for the task to be plausibly solvable by the LLM.

Future organizations are probably like an elaborate self-improving ETL pipeline. Where input is every piece of data both internal and external, transforms are created/optimized by AI, and outputs fed back in.

I am genuinely blown away by the prompt coherence of Midjourney v6. This is an insanely detailed prompt with 8 specific color assignments, and it's absolutely nailing it. If you run the same prompt in --v 5.2 it won't even come close. --v 6 is seriously incredible ✨ 💬 35mm film still, two-shot of a 50 year old black man with a grey beard wearing a brown jacket and red scarf standing next to a 20 year old white woman wearing a navy blue and cream houndstooth coat and black knit beanie. They are walking down the middle of the street at midnight, illuminated by the soft orange glow of the street lights --ar 7:5 --style raw --v 6.0

You might wanna read up on history, bro. Science would ~literally~ be impossible without algebra (al-jabr), which was developed by a Muslim. xitter.cf/Austins_coffee/status/…
