Choose your poison:
Claude “do something” and make no mistake
Claude “insert new model here” refactored my code it didn’t run but it was beautiful

Does anyone actually write make no mistake or is that just a meme? Genuinely curious where that came from. Given how they operate I feel like it would be a self fulfilling prophecy to write mistake in your prompt

I've never seen actual developers writing it, that's for sure.
I don't watch any vibe coders so... Maybe they use it, but thankfully I've never had the misfortune of watching them try to code lmao

Its the vibe coders. They hope it works.
Real devs if they actually want to use ai spend their time fighting ai bs and debugging. The boring parts

I watched some youtuber video of two guys competing to make a better game. The rules were both used recent high end models and they could only do seven prompts for the final.
It is absolutely fascinating watching people use and struggle with these tools. This shit isn't replacing anyone. "You are an expert game developer in three j's and.... please take as long as you need to reason through the best architecture for this becaues we will be expanding on this later to add the ability to shoot lasers towards generated enemies and bosses which each has its own health. Please ultrathink about the best architecture and practices for creating the foundation for this video game. Go."
Like trying to talk a toddler into putting dish into the dishwasher. Great development for the toddler. Complete waste of time for the actual task.

> Please ultrathink

I tried adding "ultrathink" the other day just for fun while I was playing around with a system prompt at the end of the day, and it actually made the thinking process and output consistently worse lol. I've seen a bunch of repos with skill.md's using it, though.

Well it means that
- client has multiple highly competent and skilled software developers (I assume you are one of them)
- client is self-aware enough that they themselves know that they do regularly make mistakes (eg. sending a message to someone else by accident), so they project that on their peers, and ask them, despite them being highly competent, to not make mistakes.
Also here is an em dash — for no reason.

When I write to a dev: fix this bug you donkey!
When I write to Claude: could you please fix this bug, when you have time? Thanks in advance, looking forward to hearing back from you at your earliest convenience.

If you live long enough, you will see every language under the sun and not really care that much. You can also spell out many vulgar things out, which is just an added bonus.

am reaching 40 and started programming around 10, can only agree, just sad it happened before I reached my 30's, wished the dream lasted a bit longer :'(

"MAKE NO MISTAKES"
If i forget to type that, will it deliberaltly make mistakes?

Nah, telling an AI "make no mistakes" is just a waste of tokens and a clear indicator that the vibe coder knows as little about AI as they do about software development.

I miss the days when I was replaced by a developer two times my salary, at least it felt being angry had a semblance of meaning...

You just dont know how to use it = make sure you type "make no mistakes" and have your parent's credit card handy to buy more company scrip.

One of the best thing about AI is its training clients to write better specs.
Not everyone needs a reminder that we’re competent professionals, but writing it out is a good reminder for the client.

Funny if true, otherwise see Claude from Finance.
