As Andrej Karpathy said, "The hottest new programming language is English." This beginner-friendly talk will feature plenty of live-coding in the hottest new programming language and will go over how you can become a better prompt engineer, getting better output from Large Language Models (LLMs)--by giving them better input! Using Cloudflare AI, we'll cover strategies for developing prompts, traits that good prompts share (and what some bad prompts look like), how you can slowly begin to predict output based on input and how you can nudge a LLM in a certain direction, providing extra context and information to the model to augment its knowledge, how to develop innovative chat-based apps using English, and more!
