@simonw it sounds like we'd agree that:

1] when prototyping, it's useful to not have to tweak each prompt by hand as long as you can inspect them easily

2] when the system design is "final", it's important to be able to tweak any prompts or finetunes with full flexibility

But we may or may not agree on:

3] automatic optimization can basically make #2 above only very rarely needed

Anyway, the entire DSPy project has zero hard-coded prompts for tasks. It's all bootstrapped and validated for your logic. In case you're worried that we're doing some opinionated prompting on your behalf.

It sounds fascinating! Is there anything one could read to figure out more about how this is being done (From reading the docs by the "Teleprompter"s right)?
