Took a few steps to get there. First prompt was just to create some data.
Perfect! Please generate 10 users to be used for seed data. I would like the users to be based on Dragonball Z characters
Followed with:
Okay, that is pretty cool. Lets reference something I am more passionate about. Can you generate the data again, but this time use Neon Genesis Evangelion as a reference for the data. Also please include an 11th entry at the very beginning that contains all fields as 'test' and is_admin = true
And finally:
hahaha I love that. Just for shits and gigs can you redo that but use washed up 80s rockstars as a reference?
I figured I could use data my boss could relate to.
"The project begins in the programmer’s mind with the beauty of a crystal. I remember the feel of a system at the early stages of programming, when the knowledge I am to represent in code seems lovely in its structuredness. For a time, the world is a calm, mathematical place. Human and machine seem attuned to a cut-diamond-like state of grace.
…
Then something happens. As the months of coding go on, the irregularities of human thinking start to emerge. You write some code, and suddenly there are dark, unspecified areas. All the pages of careful documents, and still, between the sentences, something is missing.
Human thinking can skip over a great deal, leap over small misunderstandings, can contain ifs and buts in untroubled corners of the mind. But the machine has no corners. Despite all the attempts to see the computer as a brain, the machine has no foreground or background. It cannot simultaneously do something and withhold for later something that remains unknown[1]. In the painstaking working out of the specification, line by code line, the programmer confronts all the hidden workings of human thinking.
Now begins a process of frustration.
[1] clarifies how multitasking typically works, which was usually just really fast switching at the time of the book.
AT&T does this in my state with their emergency alert system on a regular basis, and I admit, I want to smack that crap out of whatever intern does it.
I enjoy seeing these. I still have the HBO Max “Integration Test Email #1” from 6/17/2021. It’s one of the oldest emails in my inbox, and its presence there motivates me to clear my inbox just to have a giggle.
