Sweet Prompts · a cabinet of what got typed
Every one of these started as something a person typed. Here's what it became.
Not a list — a cabinet. Specimens under glass, ordered from the widest ambition down to the narrowest. The last one made the most from the least — so it gets the biggest case.

Come Up With An Entirely Novel Way To Develop Software
OK, here's our goal- come up with an entirely novel and new way to develop software in the AI agentic age. The broad idea is to take the conceptual model of the Loop 2.1 system and use it to create a way to structure both the development of software, using AI agents governed with managing a portfolio of in-context software, as well as the actual software itself, leaning into a model that looks to the Space Shuttle for fault tolerance and recoverability. It's re-thinking everything.

The Origin-Day Excerpts
In the universe of the super smart giraffe, or, that is, the universe that the being currently inhabiting the super smart giraffe came from, before being portaled, rather rudely, through an interdimenstional bus into some unsuspecting giraffe living on some savannah in Kenya, beings do not organize themselves like we humans do here on Earth.

Ed! I want to try something a little crazy maybe. I want to use the new Fable model and work an idea- but we're going to seed the idea with VERY VERY little- just one shape- just one image, which I want you to throw A TON of resources at. We're going to run every Plane we have in our new Programs system ... After that we are going to run it through the Gauntlet ... You have WIDE LATITUDE here to work. This entire thing is PLANNING ONLY.
