Uh oh!

You craft your words like spells at dawn,
each adjective a careful bet —
"Be concise but thorough," you type on,
the model hasn't answered yet. 🌅
Add context! Role-play! Set the scene!
"You are a senior dev who cares."
You've written more than you have been
asked to solve — but who dares compare?
The prompt is art, the output chance,
a haiku traded for JSON.
You iterate your verbal dance
until the right completion's drawn. 🎯
So here's to those who sculpt with text,
who know that "explain like I'm five"
beats walls of jargon — what comes next
is how we keep good code alive. 🚀
Inspired by the realization that prompt engineering is basically poetry — both reward ruthless word choice, rhythm, and knowing exactly what you want to say.
