I don't think anyone sane would let "prompt engineers" anywhere near their Terraform/OpenTofu/Pulumi/$OTHER code.
Giving write access to people who depend on LLMs (as in "can do almost nothing without it") is a recipe for disaster. Even giving write access to a junior is less scary than that, in comparison.

This is what makes me afraid for the future of software development. Even in this thread you see people saying they "don't write css and just let the ai do it." I don't think I could work for a company where the devs don't understand the language and just have chatgpt poop out blocks of code until it works, but we're starting to see exactly that now. And worse: they're proud of it. It's terrifying.
I don't blame developers treating CSS like a target language for AI to generate.
Most sites are just CRUD. Unless they are working on a site that requires creative styling, people just want to get it over with and work on the "real" problems.
