A well-structured prompt is the architectural blueprint that turns raw data into a skyscraper of insights.

Workers have rarely gotten the long end of the stick. The seduction of “do what you’re told and you’ll win valuable prizes” often doesn’t hold up to scrutiny, and so it’s not surprising that many people are skeptical about delivering something extra–work is called work for a reason. At the same time, one of the best career choices you can make is to hire a great boss.

Little kids get confused about this… just add a few more to a very big number, and you have infinity. Actually, infinity is a feeling and a concept built on the presumption that it can never be reached.
