So, you're back for more prompt engineering ideas? Awesome, let's see what we can learn today! If you've ever felt like arguing with ChatGPT because it just didn’t get what you meant, congratulations! You've met the joys of prompting and I'm hopefully going to help you stop that from happening today. As a software engineer, I've seen how AI models [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
Let's be real: being a software engineer is already a never-ending game of keeping up with new frameworks, debugging cryptic error messages, and explaining to non-tech folks why "turning it off and on again" actually works sometimes. So, why would I want to add prompt engineering to an already ever-growing list of skills? Buckle up, buttercup, because if you are [...]
