Is it interesting to see the dumb prompts I actively use as a developer? Or is it just noise?
I've been thinking about sharing them — maybe "Prompt of the Day" where I post a random prompt from my daily work. Or maybe just a website outside of LinkedIn.
But here's what's real: my AI is both an extra developer on the team and a sparring partner. I'm in "act" mode 99% of the time. I love to code and read code, so when the AI spits something out, I see it as part of the dialogue. I tell it to fix it, improve it, try a different approach.
The prompts aren't clever. They're not optimized for TikTok. They're just... what I actually say when I'm trying to solve problems.
"Can I make this async?" "That's slow, what's happening?" "Show me where the memory allocation is." "Try it without the database lookup."
Nothing fancy. Nothing AI-whispering. Just the shortcuts and abbreviations I'd use if I were pair programming with a really fast human developer.
I think there's value in showing that. In proving that you don't need to be a prompt engineer to use this stuff effectively. You just need to code like you code, and the AI learns your dialect quickly.
The magic isn't in the phrasing. It's in the speed of iteration.
