here's the truth about prompt engineering...

shortcuts get you started fast, fundamentals get you lasting forever

most people skip the basics:
- how language models actually work

- how to debug when prompts break
- the science behind model responses

do the initial work of understanding the theory and your outputs will level up instantly
