The reviews

Revolutionary approach to prompt engineering. Optimizers find better prompts than humans can write manually.

Helpful?

Steep learning curve and the abstractions can be confusing. For most apps, good prompt engineering is faster.

Helpful?

The idea that prompts should be compiled, not handwritten, is correct. DSPy is ahead of its time.
