Wow this is a crazy coincidence. I was a brand new software engineer that actually worked on the original implementation of SEL’s SDN software. Was my first real job out of college! My name might actually be on a patent somewhere even tho

I came across this a while back that I enjoyed but is kinda just an “lol” but not super useful status code thing: https://github.com/3digitdev/Haiku-TTP-Codes Doesn’t have any for 418 yet though… a PR may be in order!

I agree a lot with this. I’ve probably spent more time crafting system prompts to find ways to avoid it doing this. As far as I can tell the best way so far has been to say something like “you are a terse helpful AI who responds in 100 word

Programming wasn't even my original plan. I went to school to be a geneticist. First year of college, I sign up for classes as a nerd and see "Intro to Video Game Programming" and pick it of course. Starts out in Game Maker
