Since I get a lot of questions about prompts, I almost none of my demos are made with a single prompt. Sure, once you see the final result, you might be able to come up with one prompt that gets you there. But when I start, I usually have no idea what the final result is going to be, so I wouldn’t even know how to write that single prompt.

I usually just think of something unique and see how far I can push a model in a couple of hours. A single prompt can work well when you know exactly what you want. But when you’re experimenting, shorter prompts are often better because they help you quickly understand what works, what doesn’t, and what direction to take without wasting tokens.
