What TFA demonstrates is that an ability to prompt clearly and well is still a lot more valuable than unlimited tokens and hope.

The prompt they used was poor (what does growth mean over the limited period - user base or revenue?), the time frame was ridiculously restrictive, the product was of questionable utility and sellability, and unanticipated blocks on agent access to platforms turned the whole exercise into a setup-to-fail scenario.
