@edwardsanchez Sounds interesting in theory but in practice reducing things is so much harder. Mostly because it is contrary to how humans live life. Scope creep/ lifestyle creep, more more and more. Reducing takes terribly intentional thinking which is quite unnatural.

. @_cartermp's analogy of constructing prompts for #LLM to be akin to constructing SQL for databases has given me newfound respect for the nuances of prompt engineering. You do need particular skills to build the right clauses to extract max value.
