Not AI generated. I initially thought of giving citations. It's all my study notes.

Prompt engineering isn't going anywhere. People keep saying it's dead, that the next model will make it obsolete. They said the same thing about ChatGPT 4, then Claude, then Gemini Pro. Even though the AI models are becoming more powerful each day, a poorly prompted AI response could hinder your ability to get the right results.

A few days ago I discovered a few security issues in one of the software we have developed.
I instantly decided to review the frontend and backend code with AI (used cursor and GitHub copilot)
It reported a dozen more issues which otherwise would have taken a few weeks to find.
We asked AI to generate code that will help the security providing rules informing about technology stack, coding guidelines, project structure and product description.
We got good recommendations, but couldn't implement the suggestions straightforward.
However, we took the advices and hand-coded the suggestions at all code files.
The entire exercise took a week for fairly large project.
As per my tech lead, it would have taken minimum 2 months.
Soniy works.

Being lonely is so good. Thank you for reminding me yet again. People laugh when I tell them that I enjoy myself more than being with anyone. But that does not change the truth—I enjoy myself, and I enjoy doing some of the things suggested in the video. I am writing this from a coffee shop where I am alone.

Recently, an article by a friend about the manifesto of the top 1% of tech talent: https://appetals.com/the-manifesto-of-the-top-1-tech-talent/
I was initially quite reluctant even to read it, but I opened the link as it came from a quite notable friend.
I liked how these guys have summed up all the things that you can practice to become the top tech talent. (I am not sure top 1%) and what it means to be that.

I have been in your shoes. Here is what I suggest:
Do not start if you don't have 6 months of your cash flow in the bank. Do not start if you have outgoing monthly commitments like home loan, credit card outstanding, bank loans, medical expenses, etc. put together at 50% or more of your monthly earning. Do not start if you don't see regaining your current monthly earning within 6 months.
Trust me this has worked for me and 100s of others whom I have mentored/coached since last 15 years.

The better you have processed your idea, it significantly improves your chances of success.
Before you take a plunge, add an intense and disciplined approach to brainstorm your idea and it's evaluation process:
1. Build lists of potential customer types, business and pricing models.
2. Evaluate the opportunities where these lists overlap.
3. Then, go out of your building and evaluate the top ideas with real potential users, customers, and suppliers.
4. The goal of evaluation process should be to know whether your idea has likelihood of success. Also, it will help you know early on to waste less time down the road, even if you pivot from your original idea.
I wrote a complete set of 11 articles to go from idea to launch and growth. Check it out here:

Here is what I suggest — Just loose yourself in a dense forest in the early morning for an hour. Walk and reflect on your journey so far. The alone time will help you loosen yourself and know where you stand for real.

Initial funding will come from yourself, friends or family. If you are trying anywhere else it would be a waste of time.
