ooo i love this term. does it have an origin?

related meme i saw today:

“bro I spent all weekend in Claude Code it’s incredible”

“oh nice, what did you build?”

“dude my setup is crazy. i’ve got all the vercel skills, plus custom hooks for every project”

“sick, what are you building?”

“my setup is so optimized, i’m using like 5 instances at once”

I was annoyed at a post by Karpathy about how much he was falling behind by not chasing every ai fad: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46395714#46429236

Then I saw a few other people reference it and it's as good a term as any to describe the hot air of people telling us how amazing ai coding is without giving the code, the prompts, or the price of what they did.

Just like how that one kid in highschool had a Canadian girlfriend.
