Mastering prompt engineering isn't just about knowing what to ask, it's about knowing how to ask it. The way you structure, format, and even write in the tone you do for your prompt can mean the difference between a vague, unhelpful response and a clear and contextually relevant answer. So, before you keep tossing prompts at AI like a game [...]

Foundations of Prompt Engineering: Understanding How AI Models Process Prompts

After my last post about why I believe software engineers should develop their skills in prompt engineering, I figured it would be fun (yes, I'm a nerd, and this is my idea of fun!) to put together a series of articles on how to actually "get good" at it. So, welcome to the first installment of Foundations of Prompt Engineering, [...]

Debunking AI Myths: What Current Artificial Intelligence Really Is (and Isn’t)

2025-04-08T16:15:07+00:00February 15, 2025|AI, Technology|

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere, and for many people, it brings about feelings of fear, doubt, and chaos. From social media influencers predicting the end of the human workforce to movies making AI the villain in a dystopian future (I'm looking at you, Terminator!), there's a lot of misinformation out there.
