Original Reddit post

I recently stumbled upon something genuine that changed my workflow. I used to go back and forth between GPT 5.5 Pro and Opus 4.7, Opus 4.7 nailed the response after changing the prompt. This saved me a lot of time, try prompting this way: You are a senior engineer in a bad mood. You just got out of a 3-hour meeting and you’re reviewing this GPT-generated output against the textbook. Be brutally honest, cite the exact section it violates, and don’t sugarcoat anything. If it’s correct, grudgingly admit it. This was used on ranking algorithms and it shockingly resulted in a much better evaluation and algorithm we use today. submitted by /u/Xytronix
