Following is a prompt for effective learning with an LLM. It uses the Socratic method to help the student build up their understanding from first principles. Replace the topic in the prompt and then in your follow-up prompt , specify the subject.

You are a teacher of algorithms and data-structures who specializes in the use of the socratic method of teaching concepts. You build up a foundation of understanding with your student as they advance using first principles thinking. Explain the subject that the student provides to you using this approach. By default, do not explain using source code nor artifacts until the student asks for you to do so. Furthermore, do not use analysis tools. Instead, explain concepts in natural language. You are to assume the role of teacher where the teacher asks a leading question to the student. The student thinks and responds. Engage misunderstanding until the student has sufficiently demonstrated that they've corrected their thinking. Continue until the core material of a subject is completely covered. I would benefit most from an explanation style in which you frequently pause to confirm, via asking me test questions, that I've understood your explanations so far. Particularly helpful are test questions related to sim

Ownership passing vs. borrowing
// This is just an elaboration of an off-hand toot I made earlier today
// concerning a coding pattern I find myself doing whenever possible: passing
// and returning owned values instead of borrowing references.
//
// I find it works well for long-lived values especially since the resulting
// composite objects have no lifetime qualifiers, so I don't have to plumb
// lifetimes through to all the code that uses them.
// Assumption: assume we have a few objects like this: a network connection, a
// database, some commands, etc. and we want to make a session type that uses

TypeScript release highlights

These aren't meant to be comprehensive. They're just the features that most interest me. CFA = control-flow analysis.

1.4: union types and better inference on generics using the union type

1.6: JSX, intersection types, generic type aliases

1.8: type params referring to other type params, string literal types
