That's actually a solid question! You can probably ask GPT to AI-optimize a standard technical spec you have and to "ask clarifying questions in order to optimize for the best output". I've done that several times with past specs I've had and it was quite a fruitful process!


Great idea. I’ve used that tactic in the past for non-code related prompts; not sure why I didn’t think of trying it with my code-generation prompting. I’ll give it a shot.


the "ask me what info you're missing" strategy works very well, since the AI will usually start the task every time to avoid false positives of asking a question. and then it also asks very good questions, I then realize were necessary info
