I Regret to Inform You: It’s Still Your Job to Prompt the AI
Details
This isn’t sponsored. It’s not a carefully curated journey of insights.
It’s just me—live, catching up and sharing what’s real.
We’ll cover:
- What’s actually changed in AI (while everyone else recycled LinkedIn posts)
- Agents, prompts, and the dream that they’d “just work” (maybe)
- How I’m using AI to get real work done
- What’s clicking, what’s still clunky, and what I’m hacking next
- The mental shift no one’s teaching: going from typing code to orchestrating intelligence
If you’ve been deep in the weeds or just mildly drowning in GPT-generated spaghetti, this is your chance to regroup. Bring your questions, weird ideas, or just lurk and absorb.
Not a vibes-only session.
Not beginner-friendly handholding.
But if you want to actually understand how to work with AI—not just watch another tool demo—this is where we start.
I regret to inform you: it’s still your job to prompt the AI.
But I’ll help you do it better.
