AI prompt engineering: A deep dive
Anthropic. Four Anthropic prompt engineers (research, alignment, applied, developer relations) talking at length about what they actually do day to day — how they edit prompts under pressure, how they think about "honesty" in instructions, when XML scaffolds help, when they don't. The article's layered model maps cleanly onto how they describe the work; this is the best way to hear that mental model out loud.
What you should get from this
Hear how production prompt engineers revise instructions, examples and behavioral constraints under real pressure instead of treating prompts as one-off text.

DeepLearning.AIChatGPT Prompt Engineering for Developers
Ninety minutes to a year's worth of intuition. If you've started writing code that calls an LLM — or you're about to — this is the most efficient course online for closing the gap between "playing with ChatGPT" and "shipping a feature that calls an LLM."
Coursera · Vanderbilt UniversityPrompt Engineering for ChatGPT
The academic complement to DeepLearning.AI's short course — same discipline, longer arc, written for people who don't code. Dr. White teaches prompting as a set of reusable patterns (Ask for Input, Outline Expansion, Fact Check List, Menu Actions) rather than tricks. After this you'll prompt LLMs like a designer, not a guesser.
