An even lazier form of LLM assisted coding where you blindly spam the tab key without even taking the bare minimum amount of time reviewing the garbage that it's busy outputting.

Karpathy "coined" the term and I absolutely hate it. It's up there with "asshat" and "awesome sauce" for profoundly stupid terms.

I find it more akin to prompt engineering; something else that is nothing more than 'typing some shit until it does something useful to someone' and then acting like it's actually a skill.

But we are very good in our profession to make up garbage terms to do anything but describe garbage.
