i start to save

In line with my previous post entitled saving money weekly, I start to save. I want to prove that I can do what I preach. So, I got myself an another account aside from the payroll where the funds will be coming from

Happy Saving!

Prompt Analysis Using First-Principles Thinking (FPT)

Instead of memorizing existing prompt patterns, let’s break down Prompt Analysis from First-Principles Thinking (FPT) —understanding what makes a prompt effective at its core and how to optimize it for better AI responses. Step 1: What is a Prompt? At its most fundamental level, a prompt is just: An input instruction → What you ask the AI to do. Context or constraints → Additional details that guide the response. Expected output format → Defining how the AI should structure its answer. A well-designed prompt maximizes relevance, clarity, and accuracy while minimizing misunderstandings. Step 2: Why Do Prompts Fail?

"Typically, the person will write the name and average cost per month of a bill on the front of an envelope. Then, either once a month or when the person gets paid, he or she will put the amount for that bill in cash on the envelope. When the bi...
