This "how to prompt" shit changes like every 3 months. Remember when earlier this year it was critical to tell Claude to keep going because it would just give up. It's amazing this is really considered a product - imagine having to relearn how to drive your car every 3 months.
Remember how we were going to be "left behind" if we didn't "keep up"? I'm so glad I haven't wasted any time or effort learning how to kick each month's flavour of idiot assistant.

Cars were just like that during their early years, with tillers and knobs. See the video where Top Gear finds the first car with controls we recognize https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkwGJzU5B-I
Did you know you can get certification from Anthropic? And it actually costs real money.
What, an Anthropic Certified Prompt Engineer?
Opus models after 4.8 didn’t work well with my homegrown harness, so I just skipped them until 5.5 which seems like a pretty happy match.
Not sure how you missed that but models are fundamentally changing in features, scope, intelligence, pricing, communication style. Of course it changes every 3 months. Of course there is no product that lasts more than 3 months. We're in a race right now. It won't stop changing for a while.

Not sure how you missed it but that's exactly what I'm calling out as asinine.
> We're in a race right now
Again: consider the analogy about cars... which are literally used for racing (occasionally).
>Not sure how you missed it but that's exactly what I'm calling out as asinine.
i dont understand how you're framing this. how is this a bad thing exactly? How is it asinine?

You don't have to use a car.
You can stay on your horse. It's perfectly usable. Don't fall for the hype.
It's significantly more sustainable, as is that new-fangled bicycle.
On the other hand, if your destination really is that important, feel free to blast there in a cloud of fumes and pollutants.
Yeah. It is not so much like a "coding assistant", but more like a temp agency sending you different autists every other month.
Edit: Someone commented that this is insulting to autists, and I guess it kind of is - sorry. What I ment was an intellectual; one that can be an absolute retard, but have read an aweful lot.
This is an insult to autistic people. AI isn't autistic, it's retarded.
I don't think this is any less insulting.

All this overhyped crap will explode and most of us will be poor but hey whatever. Some billionaires will be better off. That should make us all content
