PROMPT ENGINEERING AS A NEW FORM OF TECHNICAL WRITING

With the rapid evolution of Large Language Models (LLMs), the paradigm of human-computer interaction has fundamentally shifted. This paper examines prompt engineering not merely as a tool for communicating with algorithms, but as an emerging form of technical writing. Unlike traditional technical documentation, which explains system mechanics to human users, prompt engineering translates human intent into deterministic instructions for neural networks. The research analyzes key parallels between software engineering and prompt structuring, emphasizing the critical role of syntax, context formulation, and iterative refinement. It argues that software engineering specialists possess a natural advantage in this domain due to their foundational skills in algorithmic thinking and process optimization.
