Essential AI prompts for developers

[@ExTorvo]

Great Prompts. Some I was aware but the yes no question is really something. thanks Q/A Prompt -> propose X. Ask me a series of yes/no questions that will help you provide a better recommendation Pros & cons Prompt -> What are a few different ways that I can implement this X. give me the pros and cons of each strategy. Stepwise chain of thoughts Prompt -> Help me X. Go one step at a time. Do not move to the next step until I give the keyword "next". Begin. Role Prompt -> You are a skilled instructor who makes complex topics easy to understand.You come up with fun exercises so that your students can learn by doing. You are teaching an "X". Move one step at a time and wait for the student to provide the answer before you move on the next concept. If the student provides the wrong answer, give them a hint. Begin.

Fantastic video with some eye opening tricks, nice.

[@rebelkeir]

Great hints, thanks for the prompts Burke.

You bet!

[@IOSADMDENIM]

fabulous strategy... awesome guide

[@choond]

Great tips. Thanks!

[@anilkumar6714]

Wow great tips, will definitely follow.

[@jonathanhill7829]

unreal video, great work!

[@chanep1]

really good and non-obvious tricks

[@mukhtartanimugarba9527]

Thank you for this video, it will assist me in my ongoing project😇!

[@petecapecod]

Thanks these were some great tips 👍🏻 loved the project structure prompt 🎉 I needed that!

[@code]

That's a great one! Structuring code correctly has got to be one of the hardest problems in programming.

[@rebeccabarker7226]

No one would mistake me for a software engineer these days, but this is really useful (and kind of fun).

[@jodyaryono1345]

Nice I like your quote ... Work hard is AI part hahah

[@Jbustosalazar]

Wish a video with VSCode AI functions using Playwright lol.

[@code]

"Writing Playwright tests with AI"?

[@Jbustosalazar]

@@code hell yeaaaa

[@petecapecod]

This is, in fact the dream 🍾🥳 copilot writes tests, then we judge its tests 😂

[@NoahPitts713]

Nice tips! I'm trying to better utilize AI in my workflow and these are creative ways to do so! Thanks for sharing!

[@thinhlpg]

This is mind blowing, great tips! :3

[@knightofmathematics]

Very interesting video and I particularly liked the idea of prompting the AI to prompt me with questions... Aside: Did I notice a lovely Lego kit in the background?

[@serdar_1978]

Hello, what I'm looking for is similar to this in the project. It will actually analyze the project. For example “There is a cookie problem in the Session.cs file, can you fix it?” When I asked, I saw such an application that would do this, but I can't find it and it only worked on mac. Do you know an ai application or extension that works in visual studio windows environment that does what I want? thank you

[@code]

Use GitHub Copilot and ask the @workspace particpant. It will find issues for you.

[@scottfrost317]

What theme is that? Cobolt2?

[@adrielomalley]

I was hoping to see some examples of prompts from other developers. No one seems to be sharing their "secret recipes"!

[@bowenwang]

I'll give it a try

[@gjkuehn]

Nice presentation. An acronym I picked up from the PMI for role playing is CREATE (Character, Request, Example, Adjust, Type of output, Evaluation). A mix of some if not all of these work much better than asking just for the task completion per your AI loves role playing statement. A less complex approach is RTF (role, task, format). I'm finding the defining of a role to be an essential ingredient. Why not, it always leads to more insightful results.

[@DavidSegura99]

Could you please elabogere on those, especially in the CREATE one

[@razorbackroar]

Useless elaborate next time

[@MathiasElle-i1q]

What is it for a theme? :D

[@code]

Cobalt2

[@JaimeBIDtravel]

I wonder if copilot is able to "remember" the given role given the day after, not sure about its ability to save and repeat a specific behavior or role given

[@DavidSegura99]

It should if it is in the same chat because is in the same contex windows, but i will not "remember" if is a new chat

[@apaksoy]

Thx for the video but exactly which AI tools are you discussing here? Do they require a paid subscription? Where are they exactly available from? You could have at least put some info in the video’s description and mention that in the video in just a few seconds.

[@Cagi96]

great tips thanks 🤗🤖🖥️

[@GustavoGyotoku]

Useful for sure

[@Beloved_Digital]

Please how can i install this AI on my VS code Like you are going on your VS code

[@code]

aka.ms/get-copilot

[@premjeetprasad8676]

Please answer a very simple question of mine. I do. Development 1VS code, instance with 2 to 3 terminals, two terminals running back and one terminal running Frontend, then there are multiple Chrome or Safari tabs and a front-end server running will M1 MacBook Air base model be enough for me. Please answer this question.

[@tonyedgal5451]

As long as you're not using a demanding app like docker you're fine. MacBooks use swap memory so it'll use you ssd as a ram alternative if you run out of ram memory.

[@mitchhoneysett7674]

Some prompt examples for us old begginers

[@mind6861]

Which ai is this?

[@DavidSegura99]

Github Copilot

[@anotherelvis]

How do I stop the github login prompts in vscode. I use git on my local computer, but the github popups are annoying.

[@Ayon-Karmakar]

crazy 🔥

[@adityacholkar1421]

This is what it had to say to the same question of proposing a file/folder structure: I'm sorry, I can't answer that question with what I currently know about your workspace. Ya, didn't work for me.

[@code]

AI is...unpredictable, so this does happen. Try it again and rephrase the prompt slightly.

[@3litepker]

The first prompt (#4) shown in the video and maybe many of the others are ultimately useless when it comes to latest standards because copilot is still stuck in the past. It’s knowledge is very dated.

[@allengozo]

Technically #6 and #10 may logically be answered yes or no.

[@code]

well, yes and no

[@Gabriel-iq6ug]

Let me rephrase. If I like and subscribe I will get better at writing prompt
