I stumbled on this long-form convo with the team behind Anthropic’s prompt engineering — and honestly, it’s the most grounded, practical breakdown I’ve seen so far.

Amanda Askell, Alex Albert, Zack Witten, and David Hershey go deep into how they actually think about prompting — not just tricks, but stuff like using metaphors, designing personas, understanding model reasoning, and adapting prompts for research vs enterprise use.

There’s also a bunch of underrated gems — like how they refine prompts over time, what “good prompting” really looks like, and how they deal with jailbreaking and edge cases.

It’s a goldmine if you’re building anything with AI — especially if you’ve been feeling like prompt engineering is still mostly guesswork.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
