A futuristic landscape featuring a glowing neon blue digital grid flowing like a river through a vast valley surrounded by golden-lit mountains. The grid pattern illuminates with cyan electric lines against dark terrain, with scattered rocks and golden vegetation visible along the valley floor. A bright sun sets on the horizon, casting warm golden light across jagged mountain peaks, while stars dot the darkening sky above. The scene blends natural mountain terrain with digital technology aesthetics.

How to stop engineering prompts and start delegating

TL;DR: The best “prompt engineering” technique isn’t engineering at all—it’s delegation. Transfer intent, not instructions. For quick tasks, tell the AI what success looks like and why (the Intent Prompt). For complex work, equip it with context, deliverables, and decision principles so it can navigate on its own (the Delegation Brief). You already have these skills. This post helps you apply them to AI.

A tabby cat with striking amber eyes sits at a desk in warm, golden lighting, surrounded by an open book, stacked papers, and a glowing desk lamp. Digital icons representing WiFi, images, shopping, and other technology symbols float in the air around the cat, suggesting connectivity and digital communication. The scene is bathed in warm orange and yellow tones, with a window visible in the background showing an evening sky.

Most people use AI the way our parents used the Internet in 1995. They’d dial up their modem, check the weather forecast on Yahoo, maybe look up a recipe, and call it a day. The idea that this same technology would eventually let them video call their grandchildren, run a business, or access humani…

A watercolor illustration of a solitary figure in dark clothing standing on a vast, layered desert landscape. The scene features rolling sand dunes in warm tones of beige, tan, and gold, with deep burgundy and rust-colored bands flowing across the foreground. A golden sun or citrus slice appears in the upper left corner. The composition conveys a sense of isolation and contemplation in an arid, minimalist environment.

When Claude Suggested Brian Eno: Building Art You Can’t Control

On constrained serendipity, learning by doing, and whether the system is the art. I’m chatting with Claude, kicking around ideas on building a tool that generates AI images, but without the prompting. I like to start these chats by brain-dumping ideas into it. In this case it’s about auto-generating…
