Tina Huang. The prompting chapter (02:30–09:20) lays out two stackable mnemonics — "tiny crabs ride enormous iguanas" (task, context, references, evaluate, iterate) and "ramen saves tragic idiots" (revisit, separate, try analogous, introduce constraints) — that map cleanly onto the iterate-and-refine patterns in the article. Useful when a single-shot formula isn't getting you there.

AI Expert note

Only the 02:30-09:20 prompting chapter is on-topic here; the rest of the video is a broader AI-skills tour you can save for later.

What you should get from this

Recognize reusable prompt patterns and combine them into clearer instructions, examples and evaluation steps.

Watch or know first

The primary pick's six-part formula — this builds on it when one-shot prompting stalls.
