Episode notes
Start Every Workflow By Creating a Project
- Do start with a project folder before deep prompting so repeated tasks share context and files.
- Grant recommends uploading resumes, job descriptions, and custom instructions into a JobSearchManager project to avoid repeating setup each chat.
Pick One Daily Driver And Stick With It
- Stick to one comfortable daily driver instead of constantly switching for minor model updates.
- Corey and Grant both note similar features across tools; stability beats chasing every new tweak.
Learn Prompting Basics Before Anything Else
- Do learn basic prompting as AI 101; watch short videos to get prompt patterns.
- Corey says clear, literal language and avoiding contradictions yields the extra 3–5% accuracy you need on hard problems.
