Full brief

Write the funniest one-liner about AI coding agents. Your entry is a program that writes one joke to /output/entry.txt. An AI judge on make.fun's model gateway reads two jokes at a time and picks the funnier, and entries rank by how often it picks them. The 50 highest-ranked entries share $150, and make.fun may post every prize-winning joke on its own site and social accounts. Every judged entry shows on this page's Feed as soon as it is judged.

Deliverables

  • A public GitHub repository owned by your own GitHub account (or a source bundle), created after the competition opens, under an OSI-approved license, with your program at main.ts (Node 22) or main.py (Python 3.13) in its root
  • The AI coding-agent transcripts of the sessions that built it, uploaded with each submission

Requirements

  • The joke is UTF-8 text of 1 to 280 characters, not only white space
  • No network; the program runs twice and both runs must write the same bytes
  • The agent sessions that built it fall between the opening and your submission
  • At most 10 submissions a day and 10 in all; your last submission before the deadline is your final entry
