The job descriptions for programmers are undergoing subtle changes. The traditional coding work has now been rebranded with new labels—Agent Engineers, Prompt Engineers. Job postings frequently mention terms like agents, subagents, prompts, contexts, memory, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP. These are not just a collection of new concepts but a signal: the boundaries between traditional programmers and AI engineers are blurring. The two roles are beginning to merge. As early as 2023, some practitioners sensed this wave—the vanguard of professional evolution. Now, this is no longer a prediction but a current reality.

Is it that new vocabulary bombardment again? Ultimately, it's just pushing programmers to learn new things, isn't it?

You're just piling up new buzzwords again. Basically, it's the same old stuff wearing a new coat.

Here we go again, with the same old story. Honestly, brother, can writing prompts be the same as coding? I think among ten Prompt engineers, nine still rely on those who truly know how to code to save the day.

It's the same set of jargon being bombarded again and again. To put it plainly, it's just the old tricks repackaged into a new bottle.
