Why Your AI Prompts Keep Failing (And How to Fix Them Instantly)
If you’ve ever written a prompt that felt perfect but got a vague or unhelpful response, the problem isn’t your wording—it’s your structure.

In this first episode of our new series From Chaos to Clarity: Level One Prompting, David Scott Bernstein introduces the CODE Framework, a simple mental checklist that transforms fuzzy prompts into focused conversations with AI.

Whether you’re a developer, manager, or leader, this video will help you:
• Understand why smart prompts still fail
• Use CODE to clarify your thinking and guide AI behavior
• Create faster, clearer results with less frustration
• Turn prompting into a leadership skill

Software development isn’t just about writing code—it’s about thinking deeply, modeling reality, and building systems that last. The world is changing, and AI is transforming how we write code. But most teams struggle to integrate AI effectively, and Agile has lost its way.

At The Passionate Programmer, I help developers and teams rediscover their passion for the craft of software development. Through AI-powered Agile practices, Extreme Programming, and a deep understanding of design patterns, I teach developers how to build software that is flexible, scalable, and built to last.

If you’re a software developer, tech lead, or engineering manager who wants to use AI to elevate your craft rather than replace thinking, you’re in the right place. Welcome!

And if you like what you see then let’s talk about working together. I offer customized coaching and training to integrate AI into software development.
