prompt engineering is dead

maybe most of my work just isn't that complex?

the main bottleneck for me is just knowing what to ask for and having enough confidence to ship

and the confidence part is almost entirely solved now for me

[Justin Elze @HackingLZ]

You’re all prompting wrong

[Nick Franck @nfcodes]

can someone at @stripe run this prompt?

"Make switching accounts take less than 5s. Open a pr"

@jackfriks i have 1tb and I'm in a constant cycle of deleting node_modules / builds

I should probably automate at this point

[Nick Franck @nfcodes]

@landforce prompt engineering is officially dead if it wasn't before

stupid simple seo strategy for claude

you can literally just ask claude to improve your seo.

that's it

now it won't always work but let's be real sometimes things slip

you might
- add pages
- move some around
- shift your product direction

and all of a sudden your seo is jacked up

unless you're religious about seo you can probably get 1 or 2 quick wins by just asking claude to make things better

@adrian_horning_ @ScrapeCreators i was a massive codex user but now I primarily use it to review code + random automations like pinterest posts or computer use

haven't checked out hermes though

whats the selling point on that compared to just the codex app or cli?

@rileybrown anthropic not personifying their personal assistant is unexpected out of all the labs

[Nick Franck @nfcodes]

@jackfriks I'm in the same boat

I think I might just keep the laptop and get a mac mini though

run all my agents on the mac mini from my laptop + phone instead

[Nick Franck @nfcodes]

@theo thank you!

I know many devs that refer to an agents.md as a harness

if that were the case is a prompt also a harness?

I need to share this with them

[Nick Franck @nfcodes]

@gabriel1 hiding the reply to protect her status funny enough

[Nick Franck @nfcodes]

Just spun up ton of daybreak blue threads just in case

Currently vibe cleaning my ad infested tv

There were 10 separate settings (so far) to disable if you want to turn off ads, stop tracking, avoid selling data. Etc

[Luis Catacora @lucataco]

agents are coming for every screen in your house

my LG OLED is now way faster & customizable

[Nick Franck @nfcodes]

@thsottiaux huge

just hit 0%

[Nick Franck @nfcodes]

That’s weird. Never had the response issue like that

I’ve liked it for the kinda narrow use case of looking for outlier content on Instagram and ugc creators

Idk about the rest of the issue like pasting? I think I was able to log into accounts easily but I think I got a prompt to insert my password and didn’t have to do it via browser control

[Nick Franck @nfcodes]

@theo Got any hardware recommendations?

I use hetzner at the moment but I’m thinking it might be worth buying now if I believe that compute will only get more expensive

[Nick Franck @nfcodes]

just cleared up 167 gb of node_modules

after accounting for shared storage

reminder to ask codex to audit your storage if youre running low on storage

[Nick Franck @nfcodes]

now up to $140 from my dot!

delta canceled a flight a few months back and I never submitted a claim for my uber expenses

my dot found all the receipts and flight info and submitted it all for me

[Nick Franck @nfcodes]

$31 on my way from a single prompt

not massive but definitely would have missed this otherwise

apparently I missed an email about a settlement from a data breach at my bank and had money waiting to be claimed in venmo

My dot just got me a $1.4k refund

I connected dot to my email, asked it to review it, and it found an 8h+ flight delay that qualified for reimbursement

All I did was approve it to submit a case

Prompt below

@maria_rcks Make no project threads better https://t.co/SbryUhSN9W

[Nick Franck @nfcodes]

introducing jev for t3 code!

I select "no project" 45% of the time which leaves me stuck with a boring dotted chat bubble + "No project" on my sidebar on half my threads

it's hard to glance over and find the correct thread

jev fixes that

it categorizes your threads based on the title and prompt

you can even add these categories with projects selected!

examples of categories that you might want
- bug fix
- finance
- marketing
- performance improvement

and then you can quickly find the threads visually instead reading titles or remembering where they where spacially
