Where you are
As a reader and a practitioner of data science and/or full-stack web development, you know your craft. Knowing your craft means you know the tools and techniques to solve problems. At this point, you’re looking at an AI assistant and realize it’s controlled by natural language, so-called prompts. What you may not realize is that there’s more to it than just writing a prompt and getting an answer. An AI assistant is trained on a large corpus of text, so it’s quite flexible on what it can generate text on and how to respond to prompts. Because of this flexibility, it’s important to understand how to write prompts that are effective and efficient.
