Hey Reader, Two days ago my student messaged me. He was almost angry... "GPT-5 worked for 23 minutes and then said it doesn't understand!" Oof. That's rough, and I know how this feels. But that's when it hit me. We're all prompting AI wrong. Everyone of us. The $200,000 MistakeBig tech pays prompt engineers $200k+/year. Because they know what a difference of good prompts. Imagine telling your GPS "go somewhere nice" instead of an actual address One gets you lost. One gets you there. So I did something crazy. I Built You a Prompt CoachI spent over 20 hours of my life on this. Building something I should charge for. But won't. It takes a lot of data into consideration:
And turns them into 13 checks that grade your prompts instantly. If you're hitting just 3 out of 13? Trash prompt. But if your prompt hits 8 or 9? Now you're cooking. How It Works
And just like that... a full breakdown of what's good, what sucks, and exactly how to fix it. It even searches the web to understand what you're trying to build (hence the 20-30 sec). ... and it gives you a new prompt to try out! See It In ActionI ran a real student's prompt through it. Before: only passed 5/13 - yikes 😳 After: instantly 12/13 passes ✅ Why This Matters NowWith reasoning models like GPT-5 taking over, prompts are going to take a lot longer. Bad prompts will cost you time, money, and frustration, like my students learned. This AI Prompt Coach fixes that. Today. It teaches you the best principles for good prompts. For free. No catch. No upsell.
Just me helping you build better with AI. Because when you win, I win. Talk soon! P.S. Found a bug or want a feature? Just reply to this email. I read everything, and this tool is only getting better. Plus, my AI Coding Blueprint students get priority support on using it effectively. |

Hey Reader I need to confess something embarrassing. For years, I was the worst kind of engineer. The kind who spent 100 hours perfecting code for apps that never launched. Clean architecture. Zero bugs. Fully scalable. And completely worthless, because nobody used them. Here's The Painful Truth While I was busy "doing it right"... Non-technical founders were shipping garbage code and making money. My perfect projects were sitting in GitHub repos. Their messy apps took daily payments. The...
Hey Reader, I just spent hours building the exact same app twice. Same prompt. Same tech stack. Same features. The only difference was that one used Claude Sonnet 4.5 (Claude Code), and the other used GPT-5 (Codex CLI). And holy sh*t, the results were not even close. Let me show you what happened. The Test I built a simple to-do list app with user authentication. Nothing crazy. Just login, add tasks, edit them, delete them. I even told both models: "Keep it super secure." Should be easy...
Everyone overcomplicates building with AI. Especially engineers. They come from a background where planning is everything. Think it out 10 times over or problems down the road, right? I get it, and this used to be my reality. But it's not anymore, and it's not what I teach today. Here's the Thing How engineers use AI and how non-tech people use AI to build things is fundamentally different. Non-tech people listening to traditional engineers lead to terrible results. People who just want to...
