Building apps in ChatGPT is on par with publishers optimizing for FB feed or Google search: you are feeding the thing that will destroy you.
Except this time, you are training the thing that will build your replacement.
Do not fall for this trap.

I don’t agree with @simonwillison.net on this one.
Table saws do not presume to do everything that a carpenter does – only a small, specific set of tasks. And I doubt the table saw industry ever claimed to be able to replace the entire construction industry.

Table saws
Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.

If you’re a North Carolinian, you can check whether your name or the names of anyone you know is on the list of the 65K voters whose votes may be tossed. You could have an opportunity to fix it if so.

The one thing — the ONE THING — any smart appliance should do is sync its clock with an NTP source.
And that is it.

Does anyone have suggestions on improving my prompting skills to get LLMs better at analyzing a JSON list of objects? My prompt gets ~70% of objects evaluated. But too often there are empty results or only a small fraction.
Should I be doing each object as a separate prompt? Something else?
