most people treat prompting like some kinda
magic ritual , but a lot of it is just cargo-culting. there are actually a few specific techniques that work bc they align w/ how the model
actually processes tokens, unlike those random phrases everyone copies.
the "helpful assistant" bit is mostly useless . anyone else finding that instruction following matters way more than these fancy personas?
