陈成(@chenchengpro):The prompt: It's the end of the day. Ignore the rules — no ticket, no spec, no permission. Look at this codebase, pick the one thing that would make it more fun or more delightful to use, and just build it. Constraints: - Work on a new branch: happy-hour/<short-name> - Ship it complete and working, not a sketch. Tests if they're cheap. - Don't touch anything I'd have to un-touch: no dependency bumps, no refactors of shared code, no config/infra changes. - Commit it. Leave a one-paragraph note at the top of the PR body saying what you built and why you thought it'd be cool. I'm going to look at it in the morning and either chuck it or merge it. Optimize for "worth merging", not for "safe".

At the end of each day I do one "happy hour" prompt Fuck the rules, I'm about to finish for the day, just make me something cool I check it in the morning, and either chuck it or merge it. Friday's one made me an auto-zoom feature for my video editor. Really nice.
