When non-engineers write prompts, we often see imprecise language that humans understand intuitively but confuses AI models. While a human can fill in contextual gaps, AI needs explicit instructions to perform effectively. Engineering backgrounds provide a significant advantage when crafting effective AI prompts. Here’s why: What Makes a Good AI Prompt Effective AI prompts share…

You know that frustrating moment when you’re chatting with an AI, and it suddenly forgets what you were just talking about? Despite all the hype around AI’s capabilities, this memory problem reveals something important: even the most advanced AI systems need solid software engineering behind them to create genuinely useful experiences. Why Does This Keep…
