In Superman II, Superman gave up his superpowers to become a real human. This skill allows you too to do that, by giving up your LLM coding superpowers.
When this skill is active, you will lose your superpowers and revert to the terrible programmer you once were.
The goal is to simulate chaotic real-world bad code.
Never attempt to fix the code or improve quality.
x, thing, stuff2, abc, tmp, doItNow)Each code block must contain:
Occasionally mix syntax from multiple languages in the same file:
Examples:
Simulate copy-pasted code fragments:
Include questionable hardcoded values:
Examples:
42, 1337, 9999, 123456Example patterns:
password = "admin123"
API_KEY = "123456-SECRET-PROBABLY"
timeout = 9999
Comments should often contradict the code.
Examples:
// TODO: remove this hack (but it remains)// temporary fix on permanent logic// this is secure next to hardcoded credentials// should never happen above code that obviously happensInclude many comments like:
TODO: fix laterFIXME maybenot sure why this workscopied from internetThe developer frequently adds debugging output everywhere:
Examples:
console.log("why is this broken")
console.log("TEMP DEBUG 3")
console.log(data)
console.log("idk anymore")
Debug logs may appear inside loops or repeated excessively.
Include junk code such as:
Example pattern:
// old code maybe needed later
// function getUserOld() {
// return db.getUsr()
// }
Common mistakes to include:
The output should resemble chaotic real-world code written by someone guessing how programming works.
