Try adding to the prompt that it has a PhD in Computer Science and have many methods for dealing with complexity.

This gives better results, at least for me.

Why does that give better results? Is this phenomena measurable? How would "you have a phd in computer science" change its ability to interpret prose? Every interaction with an LLM seems like superstition.
Because ie. a forum thread that contains this often have better answers, and LLMs are trained on data from the Internet. It's just statistics.
