More evidence that prompt engineering isn’t going to be an occupation. Sometimes, the hardest part of using an AI model is figuring out how…

Simple guide to effective prompt writing
In this video I provide a very simple guide to effective prompt writing for generative AI. I use a framework to describe a process for expanding the context window that language models need to provide useful responses to your prompts. And I walk-through a worked example where I show what the process looks like, using Claude.…

Don’t plan on a career in prompt engineering
I’ve said before that prompt engineering is a dead end, and here’s further support, for similar reasons. A more “enduring and adaptable skill is problem formulation — the ability to identify, analyze, and delineate problems.” I agree, although even this may only be true in the relative a short-term. I’ve mentioned before the work being…

Prompt engineering is a dead end
One of the more common takes when it comes to developing AI literacy is to talk about prompt engineering as a skill we need to develop. Search for the phrase, and you’ll find plenty of resources, promising to help you become a prompt engineer. For a while now, I’ve been saying that prompt engineering is…
