Prompt Engineering 101: These Techniques Prompting Will Change How You Code Forever

Are you getting generic, unhelpful responses from your AI code assistant? It's not the AI... It's your prompts. I'm about to show you how to go from a basic user to a prompt engineering master, unlocking the TRUE power of models like Claude 4, Gemini, and GPT.

In this video, you'll learn game-changing techniques that will 10x your developer productivity.

???? What You'll Master:
✅ The 4 Golden Rules: The foundational techniques you MUST know.
✅ Few-shot Prompting - Teach the AI exactly what you want with examples.
✅ Chain of Thought (CoT) - Guide the AI through complex problems step-by-step.
✅ Self-Consistency - Get higher confidence code by making the AI show its work.
✅ The "Ask Me Anything" Reversal - The one-line trick to stop AI guesswork forever.
✅ AI for Visualization - The mind-blowing prompt I used with Cursor and Claude Sonnet 4 to generate a complete diagram of my project's architecture!
