      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  7 APIs I’d Use in a SaaS in 2026
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I've built enough small projects to learn one annoying lesson:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the code you &lt;em&gt;don't&lt;/em&gt; want to write is usually the code that ends up taking the most time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You start with a simple idea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"I'll just build a SaaS that does X."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then X needs Google OAuth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then it needs Stripe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then you need background jobs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then email.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then some way to connect to your users' other tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then analytics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Three weeks later you've built everything except X.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I started paying more attention to the services that handle this stuff for you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not random APIs that return the weather in London.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Actual infrastructure that can save you from spending a weekend building something nobody will ever pay you for.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here are 7 I'd seriously consider using in a SaaS in 2026.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  1. Nango
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're building B2B SaaS, integrations are going to find you whether you like it or not.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You build a CRM.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Someone asks for HubSpot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You add it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Someone else asks for Salesforce.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then Google Calendar.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then Slack.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then Microsoft.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And suddenly you're maintaining a collection of OAuth flows that you never wanted to maintain.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nango is built for this.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It gives you a way to connect your application to third-party APIs without having to build every integration yourself.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They currently support hundreds of integrations, including a lot of the APIs you'd expect a B2B product to eventually need.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  What I'd build
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A tool for sales teams that connects to their existing stack and pulls everything into one place.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Something like:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;HubSpot ─┐
Slack ───┤
Gmail ───┼──&amp;gt; Your SaaS
Calendar ─┤
Notion ───┘
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The interesting product isn't "we connect to 900 APIs."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The interesting product is what you do with the information after you've connected them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's where I'd spend my time.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  2. Firecrawl
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I've written enough scraping code to know that scraping is one of those things that looks incredibly easy until you actually have to maintain it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The first version is:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight python"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;requests&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;get&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;url&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Cool.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then the website uses JavaScript.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then the HTML changes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then there's pagination.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then Cloudflare.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then you realize the page you need isn't even in the initial HTML.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Firecrawl is basically infrastructure for getting useful information from websites without having to build the whole scraping stack yourself.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can crawl and scrape websites and get the result in formats that are actually useful for applications.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And there's a free tier to experiment with.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  A SaaS I'd build with it
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Competitor monitoring.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Give the app 5 competitors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It checks their:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;pricing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;product pages&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;changelog&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;documentation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;blog&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then tells you when something changes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"Here's a scraped website."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"Your competitor increased their Pro plan from $49 to $69."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's something a company might actually pay for.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  3. Polar
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Getting people to pay you is a surprisingly complicated engineering problem.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You don't just need a "Buy" button.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You eventually need subscriptions, customer management, invoices, webhooks, refunds, taxes, usage and a bunch of other things you didn't think about when you started.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Polar is interesting because it's built specifically around monetizing software.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And one thing I like about the direction they're taking is that they're thinking beyond checkout.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If your SaaS uses expensive infrastructure, knowing your revenue isn't enough.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You also want to know:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How much does this customer actually cost me?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's a much more useful number.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Something I'd build
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A simple revenue + infrastructure-cost dashboard for indie hackers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not another giant enterprise analytics platform.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;MRR
Customers
Churn
Revenue / customer
Infrastructure cost
Actual margin
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Because $10k MRR sounds great until you discover you're spending $8k serving those customers.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  4. Trigger.dev
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is one of those services you don't really appreciate until you build something that needs it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let's say a user clicks:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Generate my report&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your application now needs to:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;fetch data from several APIs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;process it&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;generate a PDF&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;upload the PDF&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;send an email&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You probably don't want one HTTP request sitting there doing all of that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You want a background job.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Trigger.dev is built around this kind of work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can run long-running tasks, schedule them, retry them and build workflows without having to start by building your own job infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  A good use case
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Automated reports.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every Monday morning:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Fetch data
   ↓
Process it
   ↓
Generate report
   ↓
Save it
   ↓
Email customer
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Nobody needs to be awake at 8 AM.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The application just does it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the kind of infrastructure I like because it removes an entire category of problems instead of adding another feature to my stack.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  5. Unkey
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This one is mostly for people building APIs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You launch an API.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You give users API keys.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then you realize you need to answer questions like:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How many requests did this customer make?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What's their limit?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Can I revoke their key?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Who is abusing the API?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What happens when they hit their quota?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can build all of this yourself.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wouldn't.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unkey handles API keys, rate limits and usage-related infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  The SaaS idea
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A developer-focused API platform where someone can:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Create API
    ↓
Generate keys
    ↓
Set limits
    ↓
Track usage
    ↓
Charge customers
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The actual API is still yours.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unkey just handles the part around it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And honestly, this is exactly the kind of boring infrastructure I'd rather outsource.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  6. Resend
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Email is boring.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Which is exactly why I don't want to build it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A SaaS needs emails for basically everything:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;verification&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;password resets&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;receipts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;notifications&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;invitations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;reports&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;alerts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Resend gives you an API for sending transactional email without making you deal with the usual email infrastructure headache.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The API is simple enough that sending an email can basically become:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight javascript"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="k"&gt;await&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;resend&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;emails&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;send&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(...)&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;That's what I want from infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I don't want to think about it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I want to send the email and go back to building my product.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The free tier is also enough to experiment with a small project before paying for serious volume.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  7. PostHog
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is probably the one I'd install and forget about until I needed it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then six months later I'd realize it was one of the most useful things in the entire stack.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Because after you launch a SaaS, you start making guesses.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"Users probably want this."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Nobody uses this feature."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"People are dropping off during onboarding."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Maybe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Or maybe you're completely wrong.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PostHog gives you product analytics, session recordings, feature flags, experiments and other tools for understanding what's actually happening inside your product.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The free usage is pretty generous for a small project too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  The useful part
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can answer questions like:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;1,000 people signed up

↓ 720 completed onboarding

↓ 310 used feature X

↓ 74 came back the next week

↓ 12 became paying customers
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Now you have something to work with.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's much better than sitting in a Discord server saying:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"I think users don't like the onboarding."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The stack I'd probably end up with
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If I were starting a B2B SaaS tomorrow, I wouldn't necessarily use all seven.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But a stack could look something like:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Nango
  → integrations

Firecrawl
  → web data

Trigger.dev
  → background work

Unkey
  → API access

Resend
  → email

Polar
  → payments

PostHog
  → analytics
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;And that's kind of the interesting thing about building software in 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You don't have to build every layer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can spend your time on the thing that makes your product different.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're building a CRM, don't spend two weeks building OAuth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're building an API, don't spend a week writing rate limiting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're building a reporting product, don't build your own job queue.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're building a paid product, don't reinvent billing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Use the boring stuff.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Build the interesting stuff.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  If I had to pick only 3
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For a new B2B SaaS, I'd probably start with:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nango&lt;/strong&gt; integrations are painful.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trigger.dev&lt;/strong&gt; background work becomes necessary very quickly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PostHog&lt;/strong&gt; you need to know what users are actually doing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The rest depends heavily on the product.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And that's probably the bigger lesson here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Don't pick your stack because someone on X said it's the "2026 SaaS stack."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pick it because you have a problem and someone already solved that problem better than you can solve it in a weekend.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's a much better reason to add a dependency.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are you using in your SaaS right now that you'd never build yourself?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>LEAKED: Senior Developer's $200K Code Review Template - Used by FAANG Companies</title>
      <dc:creator>its_hayder</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Tue, 12 Aug 2025 17:02:45 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/itshayder/leaked-senior-developers-200k-code-review-template-used-by-faang-companies-2nlf</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/itshayder/leaked-senior-developers-200k-code-review-template-used-by-faang-companies-2nlf</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Code reviews are a vital part of software development they help ensure quality, catch bugs early, and improve maintainability. But how do you systematically approach a code review to cover all important aspects?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here’s a practical prompt designed for experienced software engineers, tailored to deliver a thorough and constructive review of any code snippet:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You are an experienced software engineer, expert in {{language}}. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please review the following code:  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;{{code}}  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Consider the following aspects:  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Code quality and adherence to best practices
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Potential bugs or edge cases
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Performance optimizations
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Readability and maintainability
&lt;/li&gt;

      <dc:creator>its_hayder</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sat, 12 Jul 2025 23:07:53 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/itshayder/breaking-free-ai-api-keys-2025-3-secret-platforms-replacing-paid-services-2708</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/itshayder/breaking-free-ai-api-keys-2025-3-secret-platforms-replacing-paid-services-2708</guid>
      <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stop Paying for AI APIs: Here’s What You’re Missing&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you’re still paying for AI API keys, you might be wasting money.&lt;br&gt;
I used to do the same, paying monthly fees for something that’s now free elsewhere.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here are 3 platforms that give you powerful AI access for free, no credit card needed:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://aistudio.google.com/apikey" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;1. Google AI Studio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Think of it as Google’s AI playground.&lt;br&gt;
You sign up in minutes and get an API key that works with top-tier models like Gemini 2.5.&lt;br&gt;
No rate limits (within reason), no billing surprises. It’s perfect for testing ideas, building prototypes, or even launching small-scale apps for free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://openrouter.ai/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;2. OpenRouter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
This one’s like an AI buffet.&lt;br&gt;
With one account, you get access to 50+ models, including DeepSeek, Qwen, and Kimi.&lt;br&gt;
What makes it great:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No need to manage multiple keys&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Easy model switching&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ideal for comparing outputs and performance&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Perfect if you're experimenting or just want variety without the hassle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://groq.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;3. Groq&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Speed is the name of the game here.&lt;br&gt;
Groq gives you lightning-fast inference for smaller models like Llama, Mistral, and DeepSeek.&lt;br&gt;
I built a chatbot with it for a friend’s site. Zero lag, instant responses, smooth experience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Great for anyone who wants low-latency AI for real-time apps.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>5 Free ChatGPT Prompts 99% of Users Don’t Know About</title>
      <dc:creator>its_hayder</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 02 Jul 2025 00:21:00 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/itshayder/5-secret-chatgpt-prompts-99-of-users-dont-know-2d52</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/itshayder/5-secret-chatgpt-prompts-99-of-users-dont-know-2d52</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Want to get more out of ChatGPT without doing extra work? These 5 simple prompt tricks are all you need. Just add a keyword, and ChatGPT instantly knows what you want. No long instructions. No guessing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  1. ELI5: Make it Super Simple
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you’re confused about something, let ChatGPT break it down like you’re 5 years old.&lt;br&gt;
No fancy words. No complicated ideas.&lt;br&gt;
📌 Just type: ELI5: [your topic]&lt;br&gt;
You’ll get a clear, easy explanation anyone can understand. Great for learning fast.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  2. TL;DR : Quick Summary
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Got a long article or message you don’t feel like reading?&lt;br&gt;
📌 Just type: TLDR: and paste the text after it.&lt;br&gt;
ChatGPT will shorten it for you in a few lines.&lt;br&gt;
Perfect when you want to know what something says—without reading all of it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  3. Jargonize: Sound Smart &amp;amp; Professional
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Want your writing to sound more formal or technical?&lt;br&gt;
📌 Use: Jargonize: before your sentence.&lt;br&gt;
ChatGPT will turn regular words into something that sounds more expert or polished.&lt;br&gt;
Great for work emails, LinkedIn posts, reports, or presentations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  4. Humanize: Make it Sound Real
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tired of replies that feel robotic or awkward?&lt;br&gt;
📌 Just type: Humanize: before your prompt.&lt;br&gt;
ChatGPT will rewrite it to sound more friendly, natural, and like a real person talking.&lt;br&gt;
Bonus: It skips overused words like “innovative” or “game-changer.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  5. Feynman: Truly Understand Hard Stuff
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Want to deeply understand a topic not just skim it?&lt;br&gt;
Use the Feynman Technique, which works like this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ask for a super simple explanation (ELI5:)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Look at what you still don’t understand&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ask for more clarity or simpler examples&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Repeat until it makes sense
It helps you turn big, confusing ideas into stuff you can actually explain to others.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

      <title>How to Write AI Prompts That Actually Work: 4 Game-Changing Tips</title>
      <dc:creator>its_hayder</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Fri, 13 Jun 2025 10:05:30 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/itshayder/how-to-write-ai-prompts-that-actually-work-4-game-changing-tips-388h</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/itshayder/how-to-write-ai-prompts-that-actually-work-4-game-changing-tips-388h</guid>
      <description>&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  1. Start with a Clear Goal
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the “what do you want?” part. It sounds simple, but I used to just throw in half-baked questions and hope for gold. Spoiler alert: didn’t work. Now I start every prompt with a single, clear objective. For example, instead of saying:&lt;br&gt;
“Can you help me find hikes?”&lt;br&gt;
I write:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;“I want a list of the best medium-length hikes within two hours of San Francisco that are lesser-known and offer a cool and unique adventure.”&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Boom. Now the AI knows exactly what I want.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  2. Specify the Return Format
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This part was a game-changer for me. You need to tell the AI how you want the information delivered. For example, I might say:&lt;br&gt;
“For each hike, include the name, starting address, ending address, hike distance, drive time, hike duration, and what makes it unique. Return the top 3.”&lt;br&gt;
That’s like giving the AI a blueprint—it’s not guessing, it’s following your structure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  3. Set Warnings or Guardrails
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Accuracy matters. Especially if you're sharing this info with someone else. That’s why I also write little reminders like:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;code&gt;“Make sure the name of the trail is correct, that it exists, and that the time is accurate.”&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;
These act as safety checks and keep the AI from hallucinating or giving bad info (which can totally happen).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  4. Include Context—Even If It Feels Like Oversharing
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This was the part I used to skip and it’s where the magic happens. The more personal context you give, the more tailored and human the AI’s response feels.&lt;br&gt;
In my case, I wrote a whole paragraph explaining how my girlfriend and I love hiking, that we’ve done all the major SF trails, and that we’re craving something new because she’s leaving for LA soon and we want to make this weekend count.&lt;br&gt;
I even mentioned how much I love hikes that end with a good breakfast. I thought I was just rambling, but it made a huge difference. The AI came back with hikes that felt like they got me not just random generic trails.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;We've all been there  you click on a YouTube tutorial to learn something new, but 15 minutes in you're still waiting for the creator to get to the point. Between the "hey guys, don't forget to subscribe" and endless tangents, it feels like you're wasting more time than actually learning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What if I told you there's a way to skip all that fluff and get straight to the good stuff? This simple trick transforms any YouTube video into a &lt;br&gt;
clean, organized study guide that you can read in under 5 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Magic Prompt
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just copy this prompt, paste it into ChatGPT, and add your video transcript:&lt;br&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F3aj6k6vx5jylxgvbmrf0.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F3aj6k6vx5jylxgvbmrf0.png" alt=" " width="800" height="533"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;You don't need to spend money on Cursor anymore. Instead, here are three simple tools to create your own AI coding assistant one that can help you build full websites or mobile apps without writing a single line of code.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First&lt;/strong&gt;, download the VS Code app from their official site. It’s an open-source code editor developed by Microsoft, and it’s actually the same base software that Cursor is built upon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Next&lt;/strong&gt;, inside VS Code, install the cline AI extension. This tool functions a lot like Cursor’s Agent Mode  it’s an AI-powered coding assistant right inside your editor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fj5fh83k52iwbf7qx4qhf.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fj5fh83k52iwbf7qx4qhf.png" alt=" " width="469" height="235"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Lastly&lt;/strong&gt;, head over to&lt;a href="https://aistudio.google.com/apikey" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt; Google's AI Studio&lt;/a&gt; and claim your free API key. This gives you access to Google’s newest AI models that can write and assist with your code.&lt;br&gt;
Once you’ve installed cline, you’ll see a new icon. Click it:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fpjqp2etmwt7gje8v6aqe.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fpjqp2etmwt7gje8v6aqe.png" alt=" " width="176" height="457"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Paste your API key into cline, and that’s it you’ve essentially built your own AI coding tool.&lt;br&gt;
Give it a try and see how much it can help.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>LEAKED: 6,500+ Secret AI System Prompts from Top Companies - Engineering Gold Revealed on GitHub</title>
      <dc:creator>its_hayder</dc:creator>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fuu0zaaixy4gan0lsxwjm.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fuu0zaaixy4gan0lsxwjm.png" alt=" " width="800" height="800"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Someone just leaked a massive list of system prompts used by some of the biggest names in AI Cursor, manus, Bolt, Lovable, and more. Over 6,500 lines of actual prompts that these tools use behind the scenes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These are the kinds of things companies normally hide, charge for, or gate behind fancy pricing plans and now they’re sitting publicly on a GitHub repo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why this is actually crazy?&lt;br&gt;
This isn’t fluff. These are real examples from tools used by thousands of developers and teams. If you’re into:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Building AI apps&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prompt engineering&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Studying how top tools are designed&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;…this is a goldmine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You’ll see how real products structure their prompts, how they chain instructions, and how they get the most out of models. It’s like getting to peek into the blueprints of several successful AI startups at once.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;this is the link of the GitHub repo&lt;br&gt;
