"Promp engineering" is as useful skill as Google fu used to be.

I completely agree. I wonder whether some IT bachelor's degrees now have lessons in AI prompting. I remember in 2005 there was a course we had to do which could've been labeled "[shitty] Google-Fu" or something. "information searching" is what it would more or less translate to. Basically searching using Google and library searches well. And I don't mean "library" in the IT-context, but actual libraries. With books. Just had to use the search tools the locals libraries had.

Such a fucking filler class.

In my year like 60 started, two classes. After three years like 8 graduated.

It's kinda dead now due to enshittification but the vast majority of humans I've interacted with could use a class on how to use a search engine.

Edit- it could be made more modern by showing how to ignore sponsored stuff, blatantly SEO shit, AI shit, etc

Im old enough to have to learn to use AND, OR and NOT to be used on search engines.

My email service, Port87, uses boolean operators in its search language. Polish notation, even!

And the library that does it is open source:

Boolean operators!

If the class had actually had any useful information in it, sure.

It was not the greatest class.

I've worked with tons of people who do not understand how to effectively use search engines. Maybe this was done poorly but it seems reasonable enough to me in principle.
