I’ve worked in big tech for 25 years as a successful software engineer.
In 2020, I became an engineering manager.
This year, I'm an engineer once more. And it's perfect timing as the AI revolution is taking off.
AI is a trillion-dollar industry. And engineers are in a unique position to take advantage.
I created this account to help you leverage AI to work faster, smarter, and make more money.
I'll provide daily prompts, workflows, and tips that automate the soul-sucking manual tasks you hate to do, boost your productivity, and help you get promoted.
If you want to apply AI to your everyday work, create more time, more money, and more freedom. Follow this account!
Most businesses are giving agents broad access and privileges because it’s fast to setup.
Driven by desire for efficiency and a healthy dose of FOMO, they’re quickly accumulating tech debt with a high blast radius.
Least privilege isn’t optional just because it’s an agent.
@Hesamation They reduced headcount costs while getting a stock bump due to imagined efficiencies of AI . We’re going to see a shakeout similar to the telecoms after the dotcom bust
Monday 11/10 I sold my first put contract.
Today I hit 1k in profit.
Very conservative low stress approach. This helps me hit that semi-retirement goal of 5 years with a bigger cushion and more income.
Should have been doing this years ago.
@WealthWithYou I was thinking about this the other day. Not because I have a big account. But all of these subscriptions and logins would be a mess to deal with.
PMs are gone. Been having to do more specs/comms.
Use claude to create a prompt template for this. Focusing on structure and order (it matters).
Then use chatgpt (same model's fine) to critique the template. I ping-pong this a few times.
Key is to see whats changed, understand it, and why. Dont blindly trust the model. Don't except every change from the critique. Tweak it.
Then test it out.
You'll learn a ton about what makes a good prompt.
You also gotta experiment. It’s easy to just copy pasta prompts because you want it done.
But you feel like a sorcerer when you conjure the outcome you want by typing the right spell. And you do that by thinking and visualizing first.
I fully grasped this after taking this guys course. Highly recommend.
i love sharing prompts here... really do, it helps you implement fast and that's important
but if you never leave the collector mindset, you're ngmi
prompting isn't just science, it's art... and the difference between "good" and "jesus christ that's perfect" is often one word, one tiny shift in framing
you can't learn that by using other people's work
you have to build your own shit, make your own mistakes, develop that weird intuition for what will break the model in the right way
the collector phase is fine, but it's supposed to be temporary
the full AI experience, the one that changes how you think, not just what you produce... only happens when you're wrestling with your own prompts at 2am, wondering why this specific phrasing works and that one doesn't
that's where your edge gets built... not in the bookmarks folder
