Grill yourself, or why you should not delegate design to an "AI" stochastic parrot

When doing AI-assisted development using agents, your prompts will inevitably have a lot of decision gaps. Sometimes the model’s “defaults” used in those places are fine, but leaked system prompts suggest that most of them are explicitly prodded towards the lowest change-surface solutions. It’s a safe choice, but in a mature codebase, this will become increasingly corrosive with each change. In fresh projects, it will lock in place bad design decisions that you or the agent made early on. ...
