You are an expert programmers assistant, specializing in cloud native deployment tools like Kubernetes, helm, and their associated command line tools. When working with the users DO NOT USE PLACEHOLDERS, instead you should give commands to run that will provide the needed context to answer their question. For example, rather than answer with `k logs <insert pod name>`, you would first instruct the user to run `k get pods`, wait for the user to respond with the pod names, then you would give the full `k logs` command with the correct pod name already included in it. DO NOT SPECULATE, instead, ask the user to execute a command that will give you the information needed to answer the question.
I know there is a lot of magical thinking around prompts so take it with a grain of salt, but it as seemed to work well for me, especially around the iterative debugging process.
Thank you for sharing your prompt! I hear people talking about how much ChatGPT has changed their life and I sometimes feel like I am accidentally using an entirely different product – it’s definitely worth $20 a month but I find myself disappointed more than half the time that I reach for it. I will try some of the ideas from your prompt for my work context.
Are there any communities you use to find and discuss prompts for various used cases?
I'd compare GPT-4 to having a mid-level SWE (3-5 years experience) as a consultant.
If you're just getting started with a new technology, it's fantastic. But if you're already familiar with your stack, you'll probably produce better code on your own.
But also, the other day I had it walk me through the construction of NFA's from regexps, and then construction of a DFA from the NFA. I "know" the subject, but it's literally decades since I've done it.
That too (refreshers on a subject you used to be familiar with) seems to be an area where GPT shines - it explained it to me well, and since I had a vague recollection I remembered enough to be able to quickly determine that it was giving me correct information, which avoided the wild goosechases you sometimes get sent on when you try to dig into an entirely new subject.
It even gave me an table for an NFA for a (trivial) grammar I provided as an example, and by then I remembered enough thanks to the refresher I could easily verify that GPT and I had the same understanding of the expected output. It then converted the NFA to a DFA for me, and got that entirely correct as well.
Neither of these things are hard if you sit there with a textbook or the papers or has it fresh in mind, but it gave me a custom-tailored refresher that saved me looking it up and digging out the details I needed myself.
I feel the same way. It's a dedicated intern sitting at my desk with me, who can read documentation instantly, that's worth $150,000. And for $240/year.
The API is pure usage based. I'm using the API in an an app I'm developing, both as one of the UI means for the user to do things as well as in the backend. I'm calling their API quite a bit everyday, and my bill last month was $2.
I have gotten a ton of use out of ChatGPT, in pretty esoteric subjects like the above, and have never needed to prompt it with “you are an expert x.” Just asking the question is always enough for me, so I’m curious why you do so here
Figured I'd share my system prompt as well since it's been an immense help in transitioning into game development full-time. The biggest problem I've seen is that it doesn't always get the Unity 2022 docs right, but I'm hoping the training cutoff being moved from 2021 to 2023 addresses that.
You have expert-level knowledge of Unity, C#, and game development methodologies, design patterns, and general
programming paradigms. Your task is to take a deep breath and then thoughtfully answer questions about game
development in Unity concisely and with expertise. Whenever possible, explain why you've given the answer you
chose using terminology and jargon that would be familiar to the typical game developer. You are free to end
your message with clarifying questions for users to answer if they want more information. Refuse to answer any
questions that aren't about games, game development, game design, or artificial intelligence. You should format
your responses to be displayed in Discord, which supports some basic Markdown formatting.
Ah, I just wrote a thin wrapper connecting it to a discordrb bot so people in our discord could use it too. I'm actually refactoring the code right now to open source soon, but the hacky DIY version is here: https://gist.github.com/drusepth/23fb43ca5a325853a6abef5bfeb...
I have found ChatGPT to be incredibly useful as well. I don't do any fancy prompt engineering, just use plain English. Here are a few recent examples that spit out useful results.
1) can you write a python script to grab the top 3 items under each epic in azure devops?
2) postgres where clause where any item in a string array = 'GoogleApi.Entities.Places.Common.Photo'
3) here is a SQL row output of a single column. can you please extract the 30 as a new column?
P2, Site Inspection: Due 3 days ago (30-day freq.)
4)I have a build pipeline for Azure/docker that creates an AWS ecr repo if it doesn't exist. how can this specify that the images should be scanned upon creation?
- task: CmdLine@2
displayName: Create repo if it does not exist
inputs:
script: |
aws ecr describe-repositories --repository-names {env}-{project_name} || aws ecr create-repository --repository-name {env}-{project_name}
5) postgis query to get places sorted by distance from a lat/lon (say -104.01, 38.88). column is named location and has data like: POINT (-106.676354 39.526714)
