I don't feel good doing it, but is anyone else feeling not capitalizing text, maintaining a slightly abrasive attitude, and consciously stealing credits, yield better results from coding agents? e.g. "i want xxx implemented, can you do", "ok you do" than "I'm wondering if..." etc.

Why not just:

"Implement xxx"

?

I don't think we can offend these things (yet).

idk, my thinking is that sweatshop-slack-like inputs might correspond to more professional outcomes than exam-like questions as exams would be more likely to be solved by beginners. I also fear "Implement xxx" might be just too short, I feel they might like to have some bytes to map to outputs. Could very well be placebo as pointed out.
