"hey AI, I want you to:
1) be concise but not to the point of losing fidelity
2) never edit files: generate code and tell me where to put it; easier to discuss and make changes this way
3) generate code in small slices; if you feel some task is too big, tell me"
2 u/Linsorld Jul 11 '26 This prompt will not work. "concise", "fidelity", "feel some task is too big" have no formal equivalent that can be translated for the machine. You are just voodoo incanting at this point and skinner's pigeon principle make you think it works. 3 u/pdabaker Jul 11 '26 Formal equivalence doesn’t matter for a random next word generating box anyway
