</figure>
<p>The journey began in the 1940s and 1960s with punch cards, which allowed programmers to encode instructions for early computers. Assembler languages soon followed, providing mnemonic codes that represented machine instructions, making programming more human-readable. </p>
<p>The 1970s and 1980s saw the introduction of low-level C, which allowed for greater abstraction and more flexibility in programming. Higher-level languages like C++ and Java emerged in the 1980s and 2000s, further simplifying the programming process and opening up new possibilities for software development.</p>
<p>With its intuitive and beginner-friendly syntax, Python came into the picture in the 2000s and 2010s, making programming even more accessible to a wider audience. </p>
<p>The introduction of smart IDEs and code generation tools in the 2010s and 2020s further streamlined the programming process, allowing developers to work more efficiently and effectively.</p>
<p>With the advent of Prompting in the 2020s, we’re witnessing the next major leap in the evolution of programming technologies. By leveraging AI-driven code completion and generation, Prompting is breaking down barriers and enabling even non-programmers to participate in creating and customizing software applications. </p>
<p>This new layer of abstraction is set to change the programming landscape profoundly, expanding the reach of programming like never before.</p>
<p>The total addressable market (TAM) of programming is not in the millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. Prompting has paved the road for the <strong><em>billions</em></strong>! </p>
<h2>Comparing Prompting to Googling</h2>

<p>As Prompting gains traction, many in the tech industry are drawing parallels between it and Googling, the now-ubiquitous skill of searching for information online. </p>
<p>Indeed, both skills have become increasingly important in our digital age, and learning to use them effectively can greatly enhance one’s ability to solve problems, access knowledge, and innovate. However, likening Prompting to Googling does not fully capture the transformative power of this new technology.</p>
<p>While Googling is an essential skill that enables users to find answers to questions and access a wealth of information at their fingertips, Prompting represents a more profound shift in the programming world.</p>
<p>Rather than merely being another skill to learn, Prompting is a paradigm shift that transforms how we approach programming. It effectively <strong><em>democratizes</em></strong> the process, allowing individuals with little or no programming experience to create, modify, and deploy software applications.</p>
<p>Everybody with an idea can now spin up an app easily and effectively. More importantly, everybody can create an app <strong><em>unique</em></strong> to their needs.</p>
<p>In essence, Prompting does for programming what Googling does for information retrieval. It simplifies and streamlines the process, making it more accessible and intuitive for a broader audience. This, in turn, fosters innovation and creativity, as more people can engage in programming and contribute their ideas to the world of technology. </p>
<p>By breaking down barriers and empowering individuals from all walks of life, Prompting is redefining the nature of programming and expanding its reach to encompass a greater range of activities and participants.</p>

</figure>
<p>The journey began in the 1940s and 1960s with punch cards, which allowed programmers to encode instructions for early computers. Assembler languages soon followed, providing mnemonic codes that represented machine instructions, making programming more human-readable. </p>
<p>The 1970s and 1980s saw the introduction of low-level C, which allowed for greater abstraction and more flexibility in programming. Higher-level languages like C++ and Java emerged in the 1980s and 2000s, further simplifying the programming process and opening up new possibilities for software development.</p>
<p>With its intuitive and beginner-friendly syntax, Python came into the picture in the 2000s and 2010s, making programming even more accessible to a wider audience. </p>
<p>The introduction of smart IDEs and code generation tools in the 2010s and 2020s further streamlined the programming process, allowing developers to work more efficiently and effectively.</p>
<p>With the advent of Prompting in the 2020s, we’re witnessing the next major leap in the evolution of programming technologies. By leveraging AI-driven code completion and generation, Prompting is breaking down barriers and enabling even non-programmers to participate in creating and customizing software applications. </p>
<p>This new layer of abstraction is set to change the programming landscape profoundly, expanding the reach of programming like never before.</p>
<p>The total addressable market (TAM) of programming is not in the millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. Prompting has paved the road for the <strong><em>billions</em></strong>! </p>
<h2>Comparing Prompting to Googling</h2>
<p class="has-global-color-8-background-color has-background"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f50d.png" alt="?" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> <strong>Prompting vs Googling as essential skills in the tech world</strong><br /><strong><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f92f.png" alt="?" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Prompting goes beyond just being a skill to learn, but a paradigm shift in programming</strong></p>

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>
<p>As Prompting gains traction, many in the tech industry are drawing parallels between it and Googling, the now-ubiquitous skill of searching for information online. </p>
<p>Indeed, both skills have become increasingly important in our digital age, and learning to use them effectively can greatly enhance one’s ability to solve problems, access knowledge, and innovate. However, likening Prompting to Googling does not fully capture the transformative power of this new technology.</p>
<p>While Googling is an essential skill that enables users to find answers to questions and access a wealth of information at their fingertips, Prompting represents a more profound shift in the programming world.</p>
<p>Rather than merely being another skill to learn, Prompting is a paradigm shift that transforms how we approach programming. It effectively <strong><em>democratizes</em></strong> the process, allowing individuals with little or no programming experience to create, modify, and deploy software applications.</p>
<p>Everybody with an idea can now spin up an app easily and effectively. More importantly, everybody can create an app <strong><em>unique</em></strong> to their needs.</p>
<p>In essence, Prompting does for programming what Googling does for information retrieval. It simplifies and streamlines the process, making it more accessible and intuitive for a broader audience. This, in turn, fosters innovation and creativity, as more people can engage in programming and contribute their ideas to the world of technology. </p>
<p>By breaking down barriers and empowering individuals from all walks of life, Prompting is redefining the nature of programming and expanding its reach to encompass a greater range of activities and participants.</p>
