@maximebodenmann 2-4. There isn’t a single answer here. You could also do 1 but there’s a mass amount of free information online

Everyone talks about “prompt engineering”, but most prompts still suck.

I just dropped a blog on how I get elite responses from LLMs like GPT-4 and Claude.

✅ Role prompting
✅ One-shot examples
✅ Chain of Thought
✅ Clarification Loops

@cchype1 Is this how I get alpha?

@CodeByPoonam Don’t think this will work as good as Google for a very long time, especially for things like developing software.

Introducing Sora, our text-to-video model.

Sora can create videos of up to 60 seconds featuring highly detailed scenes, complex camera motion, and multiple characters with vibrant emotions.

Prompt: “Beautiful, snowy Tokyo city is bustling. The camera moves through the bustling city street, following several people enjoying the beautiful snowy weather and shopping at nearby stalls. Gorgeous sakura petals are flying through the wind along with snowflakes.”

Business should be more like poker.

How can I maximize my gain and minimize my risk?

How much cash do I really need to try to win on this hand?

People underestimate 2 hours of deep work.

@matt_gray_ Always entering the arena is pretty powerful. Never thought of it like that. Thanks!

So many people own smartphones, and so few understand how they actually work.

I don’t think it’s sane to use something without understanding how it functions.

Success is built through systems, not sheer luck.

It only appears as luck to those who can’t see the underlying work.

People don’t get places "by accident"; for most it’s a calculated risk based on conviction.

Sam Altman is seen as a genius, but his kindness often goes unseen.

When I first moved to the Bay Area, I was a high school dropout that knew nobody in tech.

I emailed a few founders to ask for advice. Sam was the only one that replied.

He spent hours helping me and asked for nothing in return. His generosity changed my life.

I’ve seen him change countless lives since then. He is as generous and kind as they come. He is an inspiration in every sense.

Sam has already changed the world and inspired our industry, and I have no doubt that he is just getting started. Excited to see what he does next.

You will never be a good developer if you don’t know when to over engineer and when to keep things simplistic.

[Matt @_mattmccartney]

@Enuriru @kroepke @wtravishubbard @SomtoFrancis3 I disagree to be honest.

As a developer you should be aware of the fact that the code must generate revenue. It’s your job as a developer to ensure your software aligns with company goals.

Sometimes the manager isn’t always right; set yourself apart.

@radshaan Soon we’ll have a world full of people who know how to do everything until something fundamental to our computer systems needs to be changed or fixed.

[Travis Hubbard @wtravishubbard]

we're not paid for what we do, we're paid for what we know how to do

get some skills

[Matt @_mattmccartney]

@ThePatrator I believe there should always be a backup.

If you are actually taking sufficient risk there should be a serious chance things don’t end in your favor.
