the ponytail playbook · ladder + guardrails + 10 one-liners

Get the Lazy Senior Dev Cheat Sheet

Your AI agent gold-plates everything by default — a class where a line would do. This one-page field guide makes it write the least code that actually works, distilled from the 18k-star "ponytail" skill. Inside: the 6-rung decision ladder (stop at the first rung that holds), the never-be-lazy guardrails it must NOT simplify (validation, data-loss, security, accessibility, hardware calibration), 10 copy-paste before/after one-liners (sort, email, cache, date input, dedupe, debounce, CSV, retry, config), the 3 honest catches where it breaks, and the 60-second install + intensity modes. Based on ponytail by DietrichGebert (MIT).
