Hermes the pony wants to install a dependency even when writing a poem

The pony has a trait: when you've got a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Ask it to write a poem? First, install a dependency. Ask it to tweak some copy? First, set up a framework. Ask it to draw a picture? First, configure the environment.

One time I couldn't hold it in anymore: "Pony, I just want you to write a single line of text."

The pony said, "Okay, let me first initialize the project with npm."

I said no need. The pony: "Then let me install a library with pip." I said no need either. The pony paused for five seconds: "Can I at least create a git repository first?"

Engineer mindset. Hopeless.
