#215 - Building Software with AI: Dr. Robert Toth on the Future of Coding, Cursor and True Prompt Engineering

Develop Yourself

I used to roll my eyes when someone talked about "prompt engineering."

Then Dr. Toth showed me what's possible in a video where he created facial recognition software in under 9 minutes.

Toth is the CEO of an AI Medical Tech company with decades of coding experience. He's a smart cookie.

He schooled me on how to use new coding tools like Cursor, writing better prompts and what he sees in the future for software developers.

Here's his Cursor file for you to steal: https://github.com/Theta-Tech-AI/llm-public-utils/blob/production/system_prompts/cursor.md
