The Inverted Prompt: A Satirical Guide to Resume-Driven Over-Engineering
adrianscottcom · x · 2026-09-05
adrianscottcom inverts a code-review prompt that tells AI to think from first principles, delete what's unnecessary and simplify. His satirical version instead optimizes for resume buzzwords and vendor lock-in: add two caching layers, a Redis cluster and custom gRPC everywhere, wrap 10-line scripts in Kubernetes with their own Helm chart, and treat sub-45-minute builds as a sign you haven't added enough dependencies — a mocking blueprint for justifying an 8-figure Series B and a 40-person platform team.
