Started working on an LLM application for language learning. Are there any good resources that show how differently structuring prompts gives different results, in a reliable way. I guess I'm looking for prompts best practices, if something like that exists.

Many startup websites list company logos on their website as a form of social proof. I'm wondering if these startups took the company's permission before displaying their logo.

What's are some widely believed to be sound but hanging by a thread things around us that are not sustainable? Usually something a minority knows and talks about but most people aren't aware of.

I'm hoping this to be a funny-but-it-somehow-works thread of tactics.

Of late I've seen product creators declare staggering (unverified) revenues for their side-projects and make it to the front page of HN.

I've also seen people get keynote talks due to staggering user and revenue numbers they declared. Yet nobody seems to have asked for verification of their numbers.

Can you share examples of unwholesome tactics used by founders that got them results?
