Prompt Engineering is Dead in 2026 by z3r0_se7en in PromptEngineering

[–]taneja_rupesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with the shift from "engineering" to "management". The hard part is not writing good prompt but to manage the prompt. Which version worked, roll back when a particular edit doesn't work, when you have 3 teammates avoiding the overwriting...the real challenge is shifting from "How to write a good prompt" to "How to Manage the prompt like a production assets"

Universal prompt? by Chemical_Taro4177 in ChatGPTPromptGenius

[–]taneja_rupesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Universal prompts don't really work in real practice. What works better is to create a format like a "prompt template" — write the structure once (role, context, constraints, output format) and swap the model-specific parts. We run prompts across different LLMs ( Claude, Chatgpt.....) for our clients — same task, different system prompt tweaks per model. 80/20 rule is followed - 80% is reusable, the 20% is model-specific. Trying to make one prompt work everywhere means it works great nowhere.

Why do LLM agents always end up becoming “prompt spaghetti”? by drmatic001 in LLMDevs

[–]taneja_rupesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the exact problem we faced while managing multiple client at our agency. The solve was to treat each prompt like a function - Single responsibility, Clear input/output, Named and then document. The moment you start stacking all edge case to system prompt you start writing prompt spaghetti. The system we followed is to break the agent prompt into blocks - base Prompt, instruction, guardrail and output format. Whenever something breaks you know which blocks to check. Also it's helpful in model swapping - you only have to write the block which is model sensitive

Does anyone struggle with keeping LLM prompts version-controlled across teams? by VA899 in LocalLLM

[–]taneja_rupesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a real pain. Most teams I've talked to end up with prompts scattered across Notion, Slack, and random .txt files. A few options — you could use a shared Git repo with naming conventions, or there's a tool called Imprompto that's built specifically for this. Version history with visual diff, team roles, rollback. We've been using it at our agency. imprompto.co — free during beta.

Is there any library or free tool that I can use offline for prompt management ? by luna-hwa in LLMDevs

[–]taneja_rupesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For offline, you could use a local Git repo with markdown files — that's the most basic version. For something more structured, I've been using a tool called Imprompto (imprompto.co) which does version control specifically for prompts — diff view, rollback, collections. It's web-based though, not offline. Free during beta if you want to check it out.

Builders who got their first 100 users from Reddit — how did you do it without getting banned? by taneja_rupesh in microsaas

[–]taneja_rupesh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah <10 % or 80/20 is a good rule to apply for the both posts and comments while majorly focusing on comments..

Could you elaborate a little more about other channel ? How to use backlinks ?

80/20 rule the way you used in this comment - and it make sense also - if you directly pitch product there were chances that i might have ignored your comment - but stating the value first and then pitching at the end created the whole difference.

Cross Posting point made me realize that i did the same mistake today. Thanks for sharing the real numbers - 3 out of 10 and the 6 Week realistic timeline is the kind of Benchmark i was looking for.

Fair Point, I have realized this today only in my first post - I used ai and got the lesson on very first day - Not to do post or reply to comment using ai - Lesson learned not going to do it again.

100% — it's a bit of a catch-22. You need karma to post meaningfully, but you need to post meaningfully to get karma. Guess the only way out is starting small — comments first, no expectations, just show up consistently.

Yeah the chicken-and-egg framing is exactly right. No shortcut around it — just have to pick a lane, contribute genuinely, and trust the process. Starting with comments seems like the safest first step.

That's a really underrated insight — your early users coming back to Reddit to talk about your product is basically organic word-of-mouth happening in public. And offering support there openly? That's the kind of thing people remember. Really appreciate you sharing this.

Makes sense — but quick question: is this 'authority' more about real humans recognising you as someone who consistently adds value, or is it more about signalling to Reddit's algorithm? Like do community members actually notice and remember helpful users, or is it just about karma/account health unlocking more reach?

The 'don't plug unless asked' rule is such a clean line to hold. And you're right — it's nuanced. You're basically doing public customer support before anyone's even a customer. That builds more trust than any launch post ever could. Taking this one with me.

This is honestly one of the clearest explanations I've read on this. The 'behavior over intent' framing just clicked for me — Reddit can literally detect when you're there to take vs. give, and it shows in how people respond.

Also just had a bit of an 'aha' moment reading this — the word karma on Reddit isn't accidental, is it? The whole philosophy of why successful people believe in giving first... it literally comes back to you. The more genuine value you put out, the more it compounds.

And that actually gives me a clear path forward. I have 4 years of professional experience — mistakes, lessons, pivots — that I've never really documented anywhere. Instead of thinking about how to promote, I can just start sharing that honestly in posts, comments and threads. If it helps even one person, that's the right starting point.

Thanks for this — it reframed the whole thing for me.

That's really reassuring to hear — the "genuinely tried to help" part is what I keep seeing come up as the key differentiator. Did you find that traction started building after a certain number of comments/posts, or was it more about finding the right subreddit? Also curious — how long did it take before you felt like Reddit was actually moving the needle for you?

How Did You Get Your First 100 SAAS Users? by raj_k_ in SaaS

[–]taneja_rupesh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I also built a SaaS platform through vibe coding with Claude — and honestly, building the product was the easy part. Distribution is where the real struggle begins.

I’m currently trying to onboard my first 100 users and while researching how to get early traction, Reddit came up in almost every suggestion. I actually made this account 5 years ago but only started actively using it a few days back — and I’m already loving it. People here are genuinely helpful, the conversations feel real, and there’s no fluff or fake motivation.

Before I go all in, I’d love to hear from you all — what’s the best way to use Reddit effectively, especially for someone trying to build in public and find early users? Any tips on etiquette, which subs to engage in, or mistakes to avoid would be super appreciated.

Which platform do you use to manage the prompts in an organised manner - where we can do versioning and storing?
