The sketchy SEO adjacent job of “prompt engineer” has been around a while (via the excellent Ironic Sans newsletter https://ironicsans.beehiiv.com/)

1. Voice assistants are stealing our minutes Too often, | have a conversation like this with Siri or Alexa: Me: Set a fifty minute timer. Alexa: Setting a fifteen minute timer. Me: No, cancel timer. Alexa: Fifteen minute timer canceled. Me: Set a fifty minute timer. Alexa: Setting a fifteen minute timer. Me: Stop! Cancel timer! Alexa: Fifteen minute timer canceled. Then | realized that if | ask for a fifty-one minute timer, there is no ambiguity. There’s no such thing as fifteen- one, so now it never fails. Same for forty-one, thirty- one, etc. Now I'm in the habit of setting timers for one minute longer than | need rather than spending a minute arguing with a robot. It's a weird quirk of dealing with modern technology.

  1. A parody of design intention versus users. The top half has a picture of a wooden multi cat feeding station. It has 3 white bowls of dry cat food, each sitting in a hole in the board. The bottom is a picture of the same station with 3 cats eating. Instead of being orderly, the orange tabby is sitting in front eating from the middle bowl. A black cat is stretched over him from the right eating out of the left bowl. The black cat's head is under the hips of the white cat, who is stretched over both others, eating out of the right bowl.

  @codinghorror well, that's what we programmers always have to deal with: wetware playing tricks to circumvent our ingeniously designed systems...
