I finally understand why AI Lab people care about prompts after a tiny failure

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where ethics stopped feeling new

This is teh kind of useful internet I still show up for. I care less about teh perfect answer and more about repeatability

Honestly, great taste. I would love to see a follow-up after 2 weeks

Glad you shared it; small wins count. I used to overcomplicate this constantly

that is a good question for people with more experience than me. I used to overcomplicate this constantly

Exactly; the hidden cost is energy

good clarification — I read it differently at first

the conclusion is too broad but the example is interesting. For me it came down to the setup

That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines

I needed the reminder to start smaller

the context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. I noticed the same thing in Berlin

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. My friend tried it in Warsaw and had the opposite result

That last line is excellent. That is where teh boring checklist helps

Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today

That is a surprisingly elegant way to frame it. This is more useful on a tired lunch break then on a perfect day
