"Prompt engineer" is a legitimate profession to people who think "how fast you can type Python" is what determines the skill level of an actual programmer.
For real. I type like a boomer, but I never had any problems at uni or work (as a developer). It's not about how fast you're typing but what you're typing. And any good developer generally spends more time thinking or testing than typing.
Bur bad managers can't accept this, they need dumb metrics like typing speed, added lines of code, useless certificates, etc
