Stop the endless cycle of vague AI responses. You know the frustration: you type a question, and get a useless answer. It's not you; it's how you're prompting. Prompt Weaving: Mastering the Art of Effective AI Interactions isn't just another book, it's your new operating system

Effective AI for software development is a great introduction to traditional software design using AI. Check it out on Amazon #softwaredevelopment #softwareengineer #developer #code #ai

Virtualization + Docker gives you a lot of fun utility. Don’t worry, we’re all confused at first. Take it one step at a time 🤙 #softwaredevelopment #homelab #networkengineer #softwareengineer #developer

The key to an effective home lab is virtualization. Learn how it works and how you can make it work for you. #softwaredevelopment #homelab #networkengineer #softwareengineer

If you’re stuck with explaining your commits, consider how large your changes are, or how complex the new code might be. Clarity helps keep things maintained and work concise. #softwaredevelopment #softwareengineer #developer #code #git

Just get a simple Linux PC running on your network and start adding fun tools on it. Google or AI is your friend to learn what to start with. #softwaredevelopment #softwareengineer #developer #code #homelab

Value comes from content, not validation. If your writing is poor, and AI helps it become valuable… it has value. On the flip side, if your code is bad using AI, the pilot needs help. Find value WITH AI, not in AI.

You don’t have to spend a lot of time outside your day job to learn new things. Time box an hour every other day, or just start a dev huddle at work to learn there. 🤷‍♂️🤓 #softwaredevelopment #softwareengineer #developer #code #devhuddle

Docker makes it simple to test and develop without using full servers or instances. It can run right on your laptop or desktop, and allows you to run simple apps that you can mangle up and mess with, without caring if you kill it. Just restart it! #softwaredevelopment #docker

When you run out of utilities to print, just have fun #3DPrinting #fallout

If you love game emulators, check out Retro Pi. Awesome cheap solution for DIY fun. You don’t have to buy those pre built versions, build your own! #softwareengineer #softwaredeveloper #retropi #homelab #lifeisshort

Want to use Claude code for free without restrictions? You can with your own LLM running on your home network. I’ll post a quickie about it soon. #softwareengineer #softwaredeveloper #ai #homelab #gpu

Code everything. Make memories everywhere. Don’t settle. #lifeisshort #softwareengineer #softwaredeveloper #DevLife #ai

Not sure if I should be counting up or down at this point.

Build a home lab immediately. Add to it, and work to maintain it like it’s your job. Nothing bad can come from it.

You might be surprised the things you can learn from someone with significantly less experience than you. Stay open to learning, it will allow you to keep up and grow.

AI will break your heart if you’re using it for software development, and you aren’t a programmer… Learn the craft, and learn it well.

prompt caching is the most bang for buck optimisation you can do for your LLM based workflows and agents. in this post, i cover tips to hit the prompt cache more consistently and how it works under the hood (probably the first such resource) https://t.co/0zi6sBCvU2

Grok is awesome at prompt weaving. Some other models, not so much. It makes a pretty significant difference with some tasks. Give it a shot.
