Saw an ad for a GPT “prompt engineering” course.
I know there’s more to it than this, but the cynic in me reads: “how to write in order to get GPT to write (or code, or whatever).”
It’s writing all the way down.

not an original thought but bears repeating: half of writing is just being allowed time to sit on your ass uninterrupted and think about things really hard until you puzzle them out, which doesn't look or feel like work at all. but it is!
