Join the Prompt battle 🤜

💡 Challenge:

Think you can out-prompt GitHub Copilot? Join us in this Week 3- Prompt Engineering & Productivity challenge. Let’s put your prompt engineering skills to the test! Pick a simple coding task and refine your prompt step by step to get the best possible output from Copilot.

How to Participate:

1. Choose a simple task (e.g., "Write a function to reverse a string").
2. Start with a basic prompt and share Copilot's first response.
3. Refine your prompt to make Copilot’s response more efficient, readable, or creative—share the improvements!
4. Bonus: Engage with another participant’s attempt --> can you suggest an even better prompt?

The best one wins the battle ✌️

Example:

• ❌ Basic prompt: "Reverse a string in Python." → Copilot gives a simple function.
• ✅ Improved prompt: "Write a Python function to reverse a string using recursion, with docstrings and edge case handling." → Copilot generates a more optimized version!

Share your Promptness below👇 (we have time till Monday next week)
