It's not super obvious to me how we can explicitly define dependencies between tasks. Can someone point me to where I can read up on this in the docs?

hey brock!

basically there's 2 ways
• just passing results between tasks
• <https://docs.prefect.io/3.0/develop/task-runners#access-results-from-submitted-tasks|using >`wait_for` to establish state deps without passing data
we should add some more examples I think though! thanks for raising this

you can use both of the options together if needed

Thank you! I was getting some nudges from an LLM to use wait for, but I was overlooking examples on how to apply it.

I wanted to show a silly example for students in my class that wasn't passing data between tasks, this helps, thank you.
