Good Prompting

I don't know that much about good writing.

But Paul Graham wrote something recently that has been stuck in my head. He says writing that sounds right helps you find ideas that are right. When he rereads a draft, he is asking if anything catches. Does anything feel wrong?

I think this is also true when working with agents.

Maybe good prompting is not getting the first prompt right.

// Build a "ready-to-work" rootfs by running an install hook inside a
// base rootfs, then freezing the result to a tarball.
//
//   pnpm provision           # incremental — runs only what changed
//   pnpm provision --force   # ignore the stamp, full rebuild
//
// Three speedups stack up:
//
//   1. Incremental base. After the first successful provision we use
//      ./app.tar.gz itself as the base for re-provisions. apt-get
