Oh wow.
If you’re hiring AIs as engineers, it means that calls where the second argument is not provided share that single default dictionary. This means you’ll probably be accumulating stuff in that dict and sharing it across calls instead of using a new, empty dict on each call as you probably wanted.
LLMs really are like new grads.
