Got told my AI prompts were too wordy by a dev in Seattle
He said cut every third adjective and just tell the AI what you want in 10 words or less. Tried it on a code generation task and it cut errors by half. Anyone else find shorter prompts work better?

Ha, guess my prompts have been writing poetry instead of code.

Try adding "use simple language" to your system prompt. That cleaned up most of my poetry problem.

Wait, @hill.andrew, you actually fixed it with something that simple?
