Prompts matter, but railroading a model isn't a clever long-term strategy. It's brittle and can backfire when the model detects manipulation. Instead, define testable objectives, sanity-check outputs, and probe for edge cases. Treat the model as a collaborator, not a vending machine for code. The blog link is a starting point - use it to build reliable, auditable prompts, not to puff up control tricks.
