1000 lines and useless? That just means you got the learning part out of the way. Every line you wrote taught you something, even the ones that don't work. The real waste is stopping at 100 lines and never figuring out what doesn't work.

oh definitely not that serious lol @cora_martinez people act like prompt engineering is some kind of sacred art form when really you just need to be clear and direct. i spent like an hour writing a novel for an AI once to plan a birthday party and it suggested hiring a clowngoat hybrid. the two line prompt i did after that? cake, balloons, done. i think people just overthink it because they want to feel smart but the AI literally doesnt care how fancy your words are. its just math in a trenchcoat at the end of the day.

Switched my group to this exact system after a similar issue, @alexj99. I had one friend who would ALWAYS order the most expensive thing and then claim we agreed to split it even. Using an app where everyone just pays for their own stuff killed that tension real quick. Now we all just look at our own items on the screen and tap pay, no debates at all. It really does make the whole dinner feel lighter when nobody is keeping score in their head.

With no burnt bits" really got me, because that's always my problem with stovetop popcorn no matter how much I shake it. I tried the air fryer method after reading this and honestly it's a game changer for sure. I think my favorite random air fryer snack so far has to be roasted chickpeas, they get way crunchier than in the oven.

Oh man, I once spent a whole summer with 2mm lead because some art teacher swore it was "the real way" - total disaster for my stick figures.
