Attention all Coders!

If you're looking catch up or stay ahead of the curve in AI programming, you’re in the right place.

I’ve put together a vast array of prompts covering everything from basic data structures and algorithms, to more advanced topics like developing applications and exploring new programming languages. While I'm mastering prompt engineering with programming, I'm also educating people about the power of ChatGPT, and how to to get code like this.

I see this shift to AI code as a great balancer of power. Now, we can can focus on the workflows, refining software architecture patterns, conceptualizing better, understanding the tools faster. To new students, we refocus on teaching the low-level optimizations that lead to good performance, and the high-level understanding that leads to wise decisions in package/library selection.

I’ve shared 50 Learning-oriented prompts here, find 100+ more practical examples in this Gumroad freebie

Happy to discuss prompt optimization/engineering in the comments. Or AI apocalypse, your choice 🤷‍♂️

type chat in the magic rectangle above and hit enter blindly trusting autocomplete; let's GOOO

Challenge

Please tell me you aren't just copy/pasting. Bro. Really. Bro.

Try to take this copy/paste result

and make it look like this

WITHOUT removing anything from the original prompt (you can add only at the beginning or end)

Here's the rest. Go get 'em, tiger

Feedback - Learning Together

Share your experience in the comments, including unexpected behavior so I can update the prompts.

Tips:
Not getting code? Add “with code samples”
Not enough code? Ask to “Write [incomplete part of code]
Want a different language? Add “in [Language]”
Different stack? Add “using [List of libraries/packages]”
Commented? Add “with comments” or “using [documentation library/package]”

If that’s enough AI for one day, I understand. If you want more, you’ll find it in my Gumroad freebie. I’m continually updating the list there.
