  Every time I make a 40k/techpriest-worshipping-the-machine-god on one of these posts there’s inevitably downvotes, but you cannot look at some of these prompts and not see some clear similarities.

  Wait until the spirits demand virgin sacrifices. And then, when we offer them smelly basement dwellers, they will turn away from us with disgust.

As someone who occasionally swears at my computer when it doesn't do what I want, I guess it's nice that the computer can hear me now.

Whenever I’m deep in a vibe coding sesh and Cursor starts entering a doom loop and loosing flow, I will prompt it with this: “Go outside on the front porch and hit your weed vape, look at some clouds and trees, then come back inside and try again.” This works about 90% of the time for me and gets things flowing again. No shit, I’m not joking, this works and I don’t know why.

It doesn't work as desired, swear at it or not. Swearing here is just a sign of frustration.
