A note before we begin: This is the second lesson in a 16-lesson self-paced course. I did every lesson on the same tools, with the same constraints, that you will use. Some lessons will land cleanly. Some will lead to dead ends and need rework.
If you are catching up, here’s what came before this lesson:
Intro: Build Your Own Investment Idea Engine
Lesson 1: How LLMs Work, and How to Defend Against Hallucinations
We are going to spend the bootcamp interacting with AI through prompts. Today is where we build the habits that keep that interaction disciplined.
The practical goal is simple: we want the same model, in the same session, to do materially better work, with fewer silent errors, just because we gave it a better job description.
Let us launch into the lesson.
