I've only seen a handful of prompts that were better than just a few words asking for the result. Although, those prompts were more chains of very creatively asking what result you want. In other words, I highly doubt this is providin

The comment you're responding to is in the context of whether a government issued ID should be required _because that would cut down voter fraud_. Additionally, the context is that's it's being pushed by Republicans - that it

Yep, commit your code when it "works". Then I can safely go off on a hair brained experiment, knowing I can easily throw away the changes to get back to what worked.

I think unify.ai (like openrouter) does that - it has several paramters you can choose from. But the underlying "how to choose a model that's smart enough but not too smart" seems difficult to understand.
