Ask HN: What's your most valuable query to an LLM?

was working with mediapipe BlazePose, which gives 33 pose points in world space, but wanted "the pose to always point forward" (virtually this prompt exactly)

it one-shotted 600 lines of code which did the job perfectly. it understood from context the center of body, how to calculate the body normal, to rotate each point around that, all while handling edge cases to avoid errors. would've takens me hours if not days to tweak it manually to work.

another example just from today:

I merely selected entire json file, two word prompt: "generate schema"

one-shotted 600 lines json schema, unsolicited 200 lines typescript schema, 150 lines python dataclass model and a README!!! completely unsolicited!

Have you checked it yet?

Last time I did that from an Open API file rather than transform it, as I was lazy, it hallucinated a bunch of properties and left a load off too.

That was a year or so ago.
