The act of rapidly switching between multiple browser tabs, each running separate AI/GPT/Chat sessions, to simulate the productivity of an over-caffeinated think tank. A digital power move used by engineers, researchers, and chaos-loving polymaths to multiply AI output without melting down their own brain.
Origin:
First coined in 2025 by a rainforest-dwelling tech veteran who discovered that with enough browser tabs and GPT threads, you could basically LARP as a one-man DARPA.
Related Terms:
* Prompt Jockey – someone who rides AI prompts across multiple sessions like a rodeo cowboy.
* Context Siloing – isolating ideas across threads due to stateless session memory.
* RAM-Juggling – trying to mentally track which thread is doing what because you didn’t name your chats properly.
Pro Tips:
* Always label your threads so future-you doesn’t have a breakdown.
* Pin critical sessions like you’re building a command center.
* Just don’t ask the cocktail bot for help with your Kubernetes YAML.
