Reportedly it consists in some part of natural language directions that attempt to coax, beg, and beseech the text generator to produce desired kinds of output.

Has anyone coined the term "autocompleading" for this style of software development yet?

@hko It reminds me of the vibe coder parody video where the fix for everything is repeating "Fix it, or you go to jail" to the screen. https://youtu.be/JeNS1ZNHQs8?si=trqoPDMCAkxDWyTq

The thing I hate most about this timeline is that it's so dumb it's more or less parody-proof.
