Prompty Dumpty 

A term describing the frustrating experience when a carefully crafted AI prompt produces unexpected or nonsensical results. Often used in the context of AI language models or chatbots.
Example of use: "I spent an hour perfecting my prompt, but the AI's response was complete Prompty Dumpty - it totally missed the point and gave me useless information.
I spent an hour crafting the perfect prompt, but it was just another case of Prompty Dumpty - the AI's response fell far short of what I wanted.

Promptlagging

The unproductive trance you fall into while waiting for an AI prompt to finish so you can actually do the thing you wanted to do. You can't start the next task because the answer isn't here yet, and you can't walk away because you'll lose your flow. So you just sit there. Watching a spinner. Slowly dying. A blend of "prompt" and "lagging" — like jetlag, but induced by a language model instead of a time zone.
"Sorry I missed your message, I was deep in promptlagging — Claude was cooking on a 200k-context refactor and I just stared at the loading dots like a dog at a window."

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
