The Death of Software Engineering by a Thousand Prompts (verdikapuku.com)
My wife is working on an idea for a social platform. She’s been using Lovable to build it. Over the past week, she’s made very good progress independently but once a day she would get stuck because the AI isn’t doing what she’s expecting. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know full-stack development well enough to prompt it towards resolution or how to edit the code herself. When that happens, I come to her rescue.

Ask HN: Best practices to control LLM responses with user queries? (ycombinator.com)
How do you control LLM output in your applications? Is it just a matter of a well-crafted system prompt or are there any other techniques? I'm building a query based UX and I specifically want to make sure users cannot inject their own instructions into queries that would steer the LLM away from it's intended purpose.

SuperPrompt (github.com/NeoVertex1)
This is a project that I decided to open source because I think it might help others understand AI agents. This prompt took me many months and is still in phase of forever beta. You will want to use this prompt with Claude (as custom instructions in the project knowledge) but it also work with other llms.
