The transition from assembly to C was to a different layer of abstraction within the same context of deterministic computation. The transition from programming to LLM prompting is to a qualitatively different context, because the process is no longer deterministic, nor debuggable. So your analogy fails to apply in a meaningful way to this situation.
Ultimately it’s about being able to create features within a certain period of time, not just to write code. And in that context the shift from assembly to C and the shift from deterministic programming to LLM prompting seem to have similar magnitudes of impact.
We tried with Common Lisp, Prolog... it didn't work for all cases, and it won't work again.
