Today I bring to you priming, career, and domains.

1. Priming - The secret of using ChatGPT

🤖 We all know how powerful ChatGPT is. But do you know how to get the best answers from it? The answer is “priming”. Prime is a word commonly used when we are painting walls. First we prime the wall, which means, we get it ready for the final paint color. Priming is all about “getting something ready” to be used.

In terms of ChatGPT, “priming” is the process of getting the model ready for your question. We prepare ChatGPT with enough initial context so that when we ask our questions, it already knows most of the context in which you want an answer.

This article talks about strategies on priming ChatGPT to get the best outcomes.

1. Domain Junkie

🌐 I used to have over 100 domains registered - Yes, and they used to cost me about $1000/year to keep them registered.

At this point in time, I’m proud to say that I have just under 50 domains remaining. Every month, when I get renewal messages from the domain registrar, I think twice before renewing them, and some I let go.

This article talks a bit about what it means to be a “domain junkie”. I’m still a bit like this. Have some fun reading it.

Personal Updates:

• 🥳 Thursday Oct 12, was my 47th birthday. I’m so lucky and thankful for my family, my loved ones, and my friends (I’m including you 🫵 too).

• 🤑 OPPORTUNITY: I may have a small little coding project that I would like to put together. If I do it, I’ll need help! It involves ChatGPT and it will require React, HTML, Microsoft .NET, and the use of APIs. If you are interested, you can apply here in case I move forward - I promise very ⤵️ little money and a lot ⤴️ of learning.
