THE PROBLEM IS PROMPT DEBT

Treating natural language as a specification language for engineering quietly caps what you can build. Prompt debt increases as additional guidance is added to instructions to nudge models into line. These prompts, full of edge cases and threats to the AI, become impossible to comprehend for teams.
