did you know you can prompt other humans

you can be like "I want to make an app that is both a dating app and a financial management app and a trash calendar" and they'll prompt you back by asking if this is really a good idea

Doctorow: "In automation theory… a centaur is a person who is assisted by a machine. … Riding a bicycle or driving a car makes you a centaur; so does using the mute button on your TV remote when an ad comes on. Wearing a hearing aid makes you a centaur, and so does using a calculator to multiply large numbers."

We had a slightly different word for all of that when I was in school: cyborg.
