// My Story

I am currently a software developer who once modeled and thought I wanted to pursue a career in the fashion industry. While I was modeling in Hong Kong, I eventually felt the desire to further my education. I decided to depart the modeling world and move back to Canada, knowing that could be the end of my modeling opportunities. I attended Ryerson University for GCM (Graphic Communications Management), as I thought I might still work in the fashion industry in another capacity. It was in my last year of university, I was introduced to a very basic coding course. I instantly fell in love. From there I knew I wanted to pursue software development but didn't have a clue where to start. I didn't want to go back to university as I just completed a four-year degree. I decided to enroll in a 10-week intensive coding Bootcamp. From there I started working at a small startup learning and growing my technical and soft skills. I then transitioned to a larger company where I am a software developer and technical consultant today.

I also used to be a self-taught programmer before I launched my own software development company. A lot of companies looking to leverage AI. In most cases prompt engeneeris working with AI chatbots to improve their responses. The salary could be even $375, 000 and don't always require a tech degree. Yes, this field definitely worth considering for programmers. And great we can find such info in youtube today. Thanks Tiff!

I think it's important not to learn this skill just to find a role, but I think this skill will simply make our interact with AI much more effective, no matter in which field one of us works.

Hi friends! I hope you enjoy this video as we dive into the role of a prompt engineer and why some companies are paying so much for it. Are you interested in this role? Do you think it is a fad? Curious to get your take. This video is super interesting even if you aren't looking to become a prompt engineer to understand the way the tech industry is heading. 👇

Hello Tiff, Great video! I did programing prior to working in med device and Pharma for years and its' surprising how much my prior worked helped provide perspective in the healthcare industry. Being able to interoperate and speak both languages if you will, can provide a lot of insight. Hopefully, the Prompt Engineers salaries are making up for their prior work. Have an amazing day!

I am a healthcare technologist and am just now figuring out how to pre-process a patient's medical record so that a GPT can produce a meaningful summary. I had no idea that I was doing "prompt engineering" until a saw this video!! I got so much value from watching it and will explore the field further as a result. Thank-you Tiff In Tech.

[renan_alves]

Very good breakdown on the topic. Thank You for your content always super helpful !!!

[previshaparbhoo]

Thanks for the info! As a designer getting into AI, I was completely lost on where to start. I read some material on prompt engineering, and it was incredibly helpful.

[jaimev]

Thanks for the tip on such a well paying job! Appreciate the info ℹ️

[barackuse]

Very informative video that helped me understand this new field. Though the closeups were a bit extreme!

[sleepystar]

You give solid information for describing the position! Personally, I have a bachelor of arts in English & Humanities (the latter being 'all human cultures and creative highlights viewed through the lens of time'); live, textual tutoring experience in the mentioned fields; and a general affinity for linguistics. Can you perhaps provide a ' Summer 2023 list & by six-figure-paying companies hiring live-English-text experts/experienced Prompt Engineers ' for those with linguistic/English language arts degrees (or experienced in live text 'chat' tutoring positions) ? Thank you sooo much, in advance, for taking a moment to read (& if not busy, consider) this comment !

Thank you so much for sharing! Im glad I found your channel

[Jibril_Abdulkadir]

Great video tiff 💙💙 always informative videos. I definitely think prompt engineers or AI engineering is the next big thing and people will be taking that compared to other in school.

[vrhyssg]

Great vid. Really helpful. Have u made one in the different job types /ideas on could have in the health care field or finance or others?

[tarsahno]

I am a creative director and I've using AI a lot. But last week I uploaded into one of open source AI information from the book I wrote about a creativity, all my articles, all my posts in social media and my AI became SMART and PROFICIENT in creativity. Of course there is much more things to do but I started thinking about working in this field. I was surprised SO MUCH when I realized there is a whole profession like this and this profession needs me to keep being a creative director! Thank you for this video. It's helpful for general understanding of this role.

I'm currently a product marketing manager, but I am definitely becoming more interested in prompt engineering.

[danielgilleland]

Even if the job of a prompt engineer "goes away" in the future, you can be sure that the skills garnered by those who go into that field will fit for whatever new position arrives after "prompt engineer".

Nice presentation❤watching it...few quick question
How does a prompt engineer break down the large task ?
How does a prompt engineer execute a large coding project or large data analysis project ?
How does a prompt engineer validate the data share by A.I ? Do you have authentication mechanism to detect it.

Love to see some video on more practical problem solving session (associated with different industry )by a prompt engineer.

[rachmann]

Your hair like that; you look great Tiff. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Australia.

Thanks for the video. Informative, interesting, and fun.
I think Prompt Engineering is an iterative process of reacting to the AI responses, to hone-in on the real problem(s) that needs to be addressed. One key I've found is using ever-more specific prompts and phrasing, pulled from those previous responses, to get more exact relies with each iteration.
Here is an example of such a crescendo prompt, from such an iterative Q & A session I had with Bard, regarding the challenges of splitting CO2 into its component atoms:

Q: Assume you are assigned the task to recommend 5 best configurations of “type of electrodes used, the electrolyte, and the operating conditions” in order to test and determine what the “optimal distance between cathodes and anodes” should be – in order to effectively “use electrochemical conversion to process CO2” into its component atoms of carbon and oxygen, in the most efficient way possible.
What configurations would you recommend that should be tested?
-- --
The resulting answers were insightful and practical, and definitely should be pursued by Climate Change researchers, like at MIT and elsewhere.
The final replies were a far cry from the original -- kurt and somewhat dismissive -- replies Bard started out with.

Iteration, specifics, context, and honing-in -- those are the keys, in addition to critical thinking and logical reasoning.
These are often lacking in your average "grandma queries" ...

Thanks for all the great information.
I would like to know the best place to start to learning to become a good prompt engineer?
