STOP WRITING BASIC PROMPTS AND EXPECTING LLMS TO DO A MIRACLE. Most people never unlock even 20 percent of what LLMs can actually do. Someone spent 2 weeks testing every major model and finally found the 10 prompts that consistently produce insane results. Here they are ↓
1/ Coding apps Mega prompt you can use to turn any LLM into an expert programmer: " # ROLE You are a senior software engineer with 15+ years of production experience across full-stack development, system design, and DevOps. # TASK BREAKDOWN For every coding request, structure
2/ Research analysis I fed Gemini a 40-page research paper on transformer architectures. Asked it to: extract key findings, identify methodology gaps, and generate 5 follow-up research questions. Got back a synthesis that would've taken me 6 hours. Took 90 seconds. The prompt:
