My 6-month experiment with prompts after a tiny failure

I started this because my first week felt a little stuck, and prompts seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

Fair point, but I had the opposite experience. I am curious whether machinelearning still feels good next month. Good reminder that tools should serve people, not the reverse.

I wish more posts had this much context. This pairs weirdly well with dumplings.

I am mostly here for the follow-up. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. I would test it for 10 days before deciding.

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. This pairs weirdly well with idli.

This reminds me of something a friend in Warsaw mentioned. The social part surprised me too. Good reminder that tools should serve people, not the reverse.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. The 7-minute rule is underrated.
