John Berryman started out in Aerospace Engineering but soon found that he was more interested in math and software than in satellites and aircraft. He quickly switched to software development, specializing in search and recommendation technologies and not too long afterward coauthored Relevant Search, (Manning). At GitHub John played a prominent role in moving code search to a new scalable infrastructure. Subsequently John joined the Data Science team, and then Copilot where he currently provides technical leadership and direction in Prompt Crafting work.
Prompt engineering is the art of communicating with a generative AI model. In this article, we’ll cover how we approach prompt engineering at GitHub, and how you can use it to build your own LLM-based application.
