I sort of agonized over the wording - if the system prompt is uploaded to Github, is it code, or is it documentation?
The lines are numbered like code, and I’m used to debugging software pointing out code errors by line numbers. So, code.
Don’t worry, if you’re confused, we’ll all be thrown into the same chaotic soup of coding using natural language :) With vibe coding, we’re probably already there and we just don’t feel the ramifications yet (or the endemic unemployment in IT is the ramification and we just haven’t associated the bullet wound to the loud bang yet)
^-- to my knowledge, this is accurate.
System prompts are the easy but wildly unpredictable way to change LLM output, but we really can’t back-trace or debug that output, we guess at what impact the s.p. edits will have.
