1,700+ commits. 99.9% AI-generated code, 100% directed by a human. The rules were simple but brutal: every bug had to be fixed by the AI, every feature built by it. Even a 5-minute fix for a human turned into hours of guiding the AI with detailed prompts. As the project grew, the AI began losing track of context—small tweaks turned into major headaches. One misstep and entire sections of code would break, forcing even more precise instructions. Prompt engineering became an art. Think of it like guiding a dimwitted intern: be painfully specific, assume zero context, and verify every output. Hilarious screenshots and takeaways in the article.
