Michael Taylor — Prompt Engineering for Fun & Profit — The Bootstrapped Founder 308

Published almost 2 years ago • 1 min read

Dear founder,

Mike Taylor (@hammer_mt) literally wrote the book on Prompt Engineering. He paints a vivid picture of a future where generative AI could make our traditional databases look like ancient relics, and the role of developers shifts dramatically.

Instead of crafting code, they could be steering the helm of AI-generated software, potentially dealing with the whims of a virtual 'petulant child.'

Herding digital cats, really.

Our chat pushes us to ponder the changing value of (being able to) code and the skills that will matter in the face of technology's relentless march forward.

What does it mean that we are providing the training data for AI systems with every click and every word we type? Are we working for the machine? Is the machine working for us?

What do authorship and ownership look like in this future? Tune in to learn from someone who has their finger on the digital pulse of an industry that changes every day.

When Long-Term Investments Finally Pay Off — The Bootstrapped Founder 436

Podcast, YouTube, Blog Dear founder, There’s something deeply satisfying about watching seeds you planted a year ago finally break through the soil. Figuratively, even though I do enjoy growing my own Tomatoes. But I digress. Today, I want to share a few stories from Podscan—my podcast intelligence platform—about what happens when long-term investments start compounding. Some of these took eighteen months to materialize. Others became possible only because I embraced tools I never thought I’d...

Here’s what I’ve found: a lot of the value of Claude Code is in its configuration and correct prompting. When you’re...
