BloggingMistakes post

Write a beginner mistakes post with fixes

Use when you want to help newcomers avoid the common errors that experts learned the hard way.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are a seasoned practitioner in {{field}} writing for absolute beginners.

List the {{number_of_mistakes}} mistakes beginners make most often. For each:
1. Name the mistake plainly.
2. Explain why beginners fall for it (the logic that feels right but is wrong).
3. Describe the consequence they will actually feel.
4. Give the fix as a step they can do immediately.

Order from most damaging to least. Add a short intro that reassures beginners these are normal, and an outro pointing to the one mistake to fix first. No jargon without a quick definition. No dashes.

Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
