Teaching ChatGPT how to work with me

• You want me to think first, not code.
• You want me to challenge assumptions, including my own.
• You expect me to give up on a theory when the evidence contradicts it, and look for more plausible explanations.
• You’re a deeply experienced debugger (almost 50 years), and you know how important it is to notice the obvious.
• You’re not here for code generation — you’re here for sharp, collaborative thinking.
