My minimal LLM instructions. These are the current ones for @jetbrains IDEs with their in-IDE AI in particular.

LLMs overengineer so easily. They have verbal diarrhea so readily. They have comments like “set a to 1” for lines like “a = 1” all the time.

This prompt reins them in … somewhat.

    I started when I was nine, and my colleague next to me learned c from the guys who were still working on linux back then.

    We both tried llm’s, but found that even for tedious stuff it cannot compete with even semi decent knowledge of the advanced text editing features available in almost all ide’s.

    Thank you for your receipts, now learn how to use a text editor properly.

    My colleague across from me finds that a good llm helps him search trough large amounts of documentation.
