To elaborate: I have never been requested to share my prompts/skills, like: strongly demanded to do this. It has been vague suggestions from managers to all employees sometimes to share them but while many happily started doing this, I simply ignored it like I never heard it. Sometimes on dailies I hear PM cheer my AI skills and asks how I do this, but I only smile and joke "magic", at most tell them my prompts are always elaborative.
I am more surprised why people are sharing this without thinking.
I am now independent contractor and parts are created on company A time, other parts on company B time and different parts at my own time. And so on, and so on. And you can't tell which one is which. For the new company I start as contractor I come with my AI framework, and I am adjusting it on daily basis. What then?
I am now hired by many companies because they know giving me task means it will be done in a day, not a week, and they know it is because I know "how to AI". (I am not perfect, but I work with other guys and I am surprised how inefficient they are when it comes to AI, but this is a different story)
You came here searching for an answer. The problem is you wanted one specific answer, one that validates your own stance. So now if someone gives you an answer that doesn't sit well with you, you will try to convince them that you're right anyway for whatever reason you want.
fair point, but it is because the discussion drifted to legal while I wanted to discuss more "how do you feel about sharing your AI moat"
In terms of legal, f* no, I am not going to consider my tool adjustments as part of companies properties :)
We can discuss but I will stand my ground: my AI skills - even written on a disc - belongs to me. Same, if I go to car paint garage to have my paint fixed I am not expecting the painter will reveal his method to get the perfect color or give me his notes where he self-described "how to paint".
Before "AI era" we all had our own system scripts, manually crafted in bash/python, to make repeating task automated. And then it was never a question to share it: the scripts are the way how I configure/tune my computer and how I get advantage over other developers. The .cloude/.cursor directory is the same.
I am more surprised why people are sharing this without thinking.
