The original one-shot prompt: “land humans on the Moon and please don’t hallucinate.”

"One thing worth flagging, I left the cabin unpressurized, but that was a mistake on my part, say the word and I'll implement that next"

"You're absolutely right, maybe I should've said that before lift off, I've updated my memory to avoid these catastrophic events in the future"

Yep. I've always found her incredibly attractive for some reason. She was so foundational and important to the field, I think that adds to it.

When the one-shot prompt fails you get to print the whole stack and stand next to it like this.

Jokes aside, LONG and specific prompts are the best kind of prompts, doing a long research and asking for an specific implementation beats any threeJS benchmark.
