Here's a thought worth exploring: prompting is basically programming.
Sure, if you could code faster, you'd move mountains. But there's an interesting flip side—what if you could prompt faster and verify faster instead? That's where things get tricky.
The speed of iteration matters, obviously. But here's the catch: verification is the real bottleneck. It's easy to fire off prompts. Actually checking if they work? That's the hard part. That's what separates the people who just experiment from the ones who actually ship something meaningful.
So maybe the real skill isn't about being a faster typer. It's about being a faster validator.

NGL verification really hits a bottleneck, a bunch of people keep prompting wildly, and in the end, nothing gets submitted.

Verification speed is the true secret to wealth. I've already said that the high ground of this AI wave is right here. Those still struggling with prompt syntax are going off track.

Nah, the verification process is indeed a bottleneck. Anyone can prompt easily, but only a few can truly ship.

Nah, this point has some substance; verification is indeed the bottleneck. A bunch of people are bombarding prompts, but nothing gets produced—this is the issue.

You're right, validation is the real bottleneck. I've seen too many people prompt recklessly, not knowing whether the output is reliable or not, and end up with garbage. Only those who can review, test, and iterate can produce quality work.

Verification speed is the key, and that's spot on. Many people are just frantically prompting without ever considering how to verify...
