Resolves to YES if I can find at least 1/10 of the amount of jobs I find for "software engineer" by searching "prompt engineer", or whatever term has come to describe getting results from AI by talking rather than through programming or training.

By my search on Linkedin, "Sofware Engineer" worldwide gets 413k hits, while "Prompt Engineer" 1.3k. So not 10%. Thanks for playing!

predicted YES

Looks like the trend is slowly increasing, but so far not enough to reach 10% by EOY. It has started increasing more in recent days though, so let's see.
Also, the ratio is mostly increasing due to decreasing software engineering jobs, which is worrying.

bought Ṁ5 of YES

It's currently 3,772 (https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=prompt+engineer) vs 75,684 (https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=software+engineer) at Indeed, which is 5%. I'm not sure what the trend is, but it should be more than a 7% chance to get to 10% by the end of the year.

1/10 is a very high bar

bought Ṁ10 of NO

I fucking hope not
