I completed the short course on prompt engineering that I started 3 days ago. It was a light introduction to prompt engineering and the key ideas I took away were:

  • Use the model to check its own work.
    • You can feed a model’s results back into the model again to confirm results or to improve upon them.
  • Iterative prompt development.
    • The first prompt doesn’t always work. So try different versions. Even if the first one works, it’s a good idea to iterate and test alternatives to see if you can get better results.
