Girl’s Generation/SNSD’s Kim Taeyeon x Male Reader

2k words

Christmas Masterlist

The clicking sounds of keyboards ring through the room. Students are doing their in-class assignments, while you’re struggling to solve the first problem on the sheet. How the fuck can your friends do this?

Fuck, this is hard. Your code repairs seem fruitless against the errors, so you raise your hand, hoping that one of the TAs will help you.

You look around, seeking for help, until you meet one of your TAs’ eyes.

Kim Taeyeon.

Fuck.

No, you’re not scared or intimidated by her, you’re just always perplexed by her otherworldly features. There are her sharp eyes, her perfectly sculpted nose, and that jawline that makes you almost drool. Every time she helps you with your code, you’re just unable to focus on the material because of the intoxicating perfume she wears. It’s as if she knows that it’s your weak point.

Taeyeon walks towards you with purpose, every step is confident. Her short skirt and tie sways with the movement. She looks straight at you, expressionless, until she reaches your desk.

“So.” Taeyeon starts the troubleshooting session. “What do we have here?”

“I–I can’t add the new values into the table, M–Miss Kim.”

She nods. “Okay, can you show it for me?”

You let the code work on itself, before typing your information into the boxes, press submit, and–

“Voila,” you mutter quietly. It doesn’t work. She seems to be amused by your attempt at cracking a joke.

“Alright, I’ll see what I can do.”

Despite her efforts, her attempts are also proven fruitless. The code just doesn’t seem to work how hard she tries, and you can feel that it’s starting to get on her nerves.

“I can just ask an AI for this, Miss Kim.”

She shoots you a surprised look. “AI? Yah! You won’t learn that way! Just–meet me after the class, alright? I’ll help you.”

“O–Okay, Miss Kim.” You’ll be late for lunch again.

—

The students are starting to leave the seats one by one, having finished their in-class assignment early. Then, there’s you, trying to fix your damn code, trying to learn. Still, it just won’t budge.

“Fuck.”

Finally, the bell rings. You pick up your laptop and walk towards Taeyeon, hoping to find some relief in her. She nods at you. 

“I’ll be there,” she says. She’s still helping Haewon with her code.

—

Taeyeon starts her debugging session. It’s particularly hard on PHP, because it won’t tell you where the mistake is. Fucking PHP.

As time goes by, you’re surprised that Taeyeon doesn’t seem to become stressed with the failed attempts. Hell, she even seems to be happier and happier, humming as she debugs the code! What is going on?

“You know, I think this is a delightful session–” she moves closer towards you. Her right arm touches yours, hands still on your keyboard “–we’re having.”

Her perfume fills your nostrils. It pervades your space violently. You’re starting to get hypnotized by it. Fuck, she smells good.

She moves in a little closer. Her hips press into yours. You can feel her body heat against your side. She types in a few letters. You hope it can finally make your code run. She reloads the page, dragging her fingers along your keyboard lazily before submitting the credentials.

“Whoops, seems like it doesn’t work~” says Taeyeon. There’s something in her voice, but back to your laptop first. Why won’t it work, and why does she sound so–

“Looks like we’re missing a few more things here.” She scoots her chair closer to you. It’s so uncomfortable, yet you don’t want to move away from her.

You’re revelling in this.

You watch as she types more letters into your screen—enter, shift, echo. She does it so elegantly, contradicting what every computer job is supposed to be.

She reloads the page again, typing in the information languidly. It’s as if she doesn’t want this to end.

It still doesn’t show up.

She shrugs, sighing at the disappointment on your screen. “Guess I’ll try again,” she says with a small smile.

You are starting to get restless. Her perfume is still invading your nostrils like crazy. You want to go to lunch so fucking bad, but you also don’t want to leave this smell of sensuality circling around her.

“Miss Kim, I–It’s fine, I’ll just–”

“No,” she commands, her voice stern. You jump slightly as she says that. “I won’t let my student go out of this room learning nothing.”

She presses into you even more. It’s starting to hurt now, yet you don’t have any intent to walk away from her, not when she smells so fucking good like this.

You hear a soft giggle from her. Is she enjoying the way she’s getting this close to you like this?

You scoot away from her a little, giving you and her some much-needed space. You can hear her sigh. Is it out of disappointment?

“Are you okay, M–Miss Kim?” you just have to ask. Can’t let your TA be uncomfortable after all.

She giggles. “Oh, I’m fine~ and please drop that name, mister,” she says with sultry. Her fingers draw an invisible line over your arm, hovering over it. Still, it makes you shiver.

“I like something more–” her hands are hovering on your shoulder now, and she’s pulling you in closer and closer, as if you’re magnetized “–intimate.”

Your breathing becomes shaky. Your hands tremble. Her scent becomes stronger and stronger as seconds go by. You’re lost in her.

“Wh–What’s more i–intimate, Miss Kim.”

She giggles, leaning in closer. Her breath touches your ear softly, and she whispers, “Call me mommy.”

You swallow hard. Being dominated by your TA isn’t exactly what you’ve been expecting today.

Her hands start to grope your pliant body. You respond to her touch strongly, sucking a sudden. She drags her hands down the front and back simultaneously, fully capturing you in her cage.

“Look at you, so–willing,” she says, letting out a giggle after. She reaches for your belt now, and she slowly unbuckles it adeptly. It comes off so easily, leaving you bare, unguarded. She then unbuttons your trousers. The edge of your boxers comes into view.

“Mommy will take your pants off, alright?” asks Taeyeon. You can only gulp and nod.

She pulls your zipper down gently, slowly revealing the tent under your boxers. Her eyes gleam, letting out a giggle.

“Ooh~ so excited for mommy, huh?”

You say nothing but a whimper. Your body quivers in unbridled anxiety, apprehensive of disappointing her. The tension is high. Taeyeon starts to grope your erection through the boxers, making your body quiver in pleasure.

She then climbs onto your lap, and your breath hitches. Your crotch makes contact with the wet spot on her panties. You can feel it. She’s wet.

She smiles and starts to grind her wetness on your crotch. She lets out a hum, clearly satisfied with her student’s reaction. You’re desperate for the friction she’s giving you. Your breathing quickens. You’re struggling to contain a moan any longer. It’s sickly sweet.

Taeyeon rests her arms on your shoulders, pulling you closer into her embrace. You’re completely captured by her—her face, her smell, all of her, and you’re revelling in the way she’s doing it.

“Y–You smell so good, mommy,” you utter, enraptured within her pungent aroma. Your mouth opens slightly, hoping to lean in for a kiss.

She chuckles. “That’s J’adore for you, baby.”

Taeyeon then parts her lips, just slightly. She leans in until her hot breath touches yours. It mingles in the air between you two, thickening with desire.

At the first touch of your lips, you feel shockwaves coursing through you. Her tongue touches yours, and you get to feel the soft flesh inside her mouth. You get a hint of strawberries remaining on her lips. Maybe she was in a rush this morning.

As you clash into each other, her tongue starts to invade your mouth recklessly, as if she’s trying to take as much of you as possible. She lets out one sweet hum after another. Her hands are still gripping onto the back of your neck. Wet sounds of the kiss ring through your ear. The sensation on your crotch remains. She’s grinding against you adeptly. She’s good at this.

The kiss deepens. Her taste of strawberries becomes too intense for you to handle, but she won’t let you go. Her hands start to glide down your willing body again, feeling your soft skin and muscles. You let out moans and moans in response.

“M–Mommy,” you rasp, muffled into the kiss. Her grinds quicken, stealing breaths out of your lungs. You are overwhelmed by the sensation of her clothed sex on you.

Her thighs tense up, her breathing quickens. She’s going to cum from grinding on your cock, fully clothed.

She unlatches herself from the kiss, leaving a string of saliva connecting you together. “Now, fuck, mommy’s going to cum, alright? Mmmm.” She bites her lip after she finishes her words, sucking in the air through her teeth. Fuck, that looks so hot.

“Y–Yes, mommy,” you reply. Your high is also coming. “I–I’m gonna cum too.”

Taeyeon giggles before grinding on your cock even faster, drawing stuttered moans out of you. Your loins tighten. You’re going to cum inside your pants!

Good thing you wear rather dark-colored pants today.

Her breathing becomes shorter and shorter. Her grip on your neck tightens. Her moans grow louder and louder. She’s cumming, and you’re all here to see it happen.

“Gonna cum, gonna cum, gonna cum, ahh!”

Her body spasms on top of you. Her eyes flutter. Her mouth hangs open. She screams, loud. She just came from grinding on your lap alone, and that couldn’t make you happier. She lets out a groan as her orgasm subsides, threading her fingers through your hair.

“Good boy,” she says with a smile, pressing her red, pouty lips on your forehead. That’s going to leave a mark.

The all-too-familiar feeling builds up inside your stomach. It seeps through your lower body muscles. Your feet twitch. Your thighs stiffen. It’s there. It’s there.

“M-Mommy, I’m gonna cum,” you utter. 

She smiles back at you, planting another kiss on your cheek. You’ll have to wash your face before going to lunch.

“Cum for me, baby.”

You grunt loudly. Maybe someone could’ve heard that. Your body writhes in bliss. You can feel your cock twitching inside your pants. Cum leaks out from the tip and paints the insides of your pants white. Some of it seeps out through your pants. It feels so good.

A giggle leaves Taeyeon’s lips. She’s loving the way her student breaks under her like this. “Good boy, good boy.” She runs her fingers through your hair lovingly, making you whimper a little.

Your orgasm finally fades. You pant in exhaustion after the sensual act. Your hands are still shaking. You just cum from dry humping with your TA!

“You okay?” she asks. You’re probably looking disheveled right now, all panting, chest heaving. “You look–scattered.”

“Y–Yeah, mom–uh–Miss Kim,” you stammer out. Your mind is in haywire right now. Should you still call her mommy?”

Taeyeon chuckles at your apprehension. She seems satisfied with her student being a mess like this.

“Oh, and about the code,” she suddenly says, snapping you back into reality. “We might have to make an arrangement at a later date.”

You blink, trying to connect the pieces back together. You were struggling with PHP, so you asked Miss Kim to help you with that. However, you got a dry humping session instead. The code is still unfinished.

“Y–Yeah, the code,” you respond, giving her a shy smile. “An arrangement, sure.”

“Maybe–this Saturday? I don’t have classes on that day.”

“Sure, Miss Kim.”

She gives you a smile, satisfied with your answer, before climbing off your spent body. “That settles it, then.”

You smile back at her before getting off the chair–

Fuck, you forgot to put your pants back up. Taeyeon giggles softly at your predicament.

“Oh, and–be prepared,” she says.

“Yes, Miss Kim?”

“It’s going to be a long session.”

Androids and Electric Sheep

Ren is experiencing an unusual bug. Features F resus, M rescuer, CPR, stething, mouth to mouth, internal defibs, sex leading to cardiac arrest, sex acts both with consent and a person who cannot consent. I got too invested in the preamble so I highlighted the moment resus actually starts if you want to skip it.

No matter how advanced technology gets, it’ll only ever be used to fulfill man’s most base desires. Case in point- RN-34678. Or Ren, when the barcodes make my eyes glaze over and I get sick of calling them the number slurry X Tech names absolutely everything. Ren is as sophisticated as they come. Actual artificial intelligence. She makes the predictive text and ‘can’t even draw fingers’ image generating 21st century jokes people passed off as AI look like even more of a waste of time than they had been in those days. They might as well have been Speak n Spells. The collective power of every single basement dwelling crypto whizz kid with miles of wires and burnt up processors and bricked up video cards dedicated to their etherium farms pale in comparison to the computing power it takes to run Ren’s brain for an hour. She understands nearly 6,000 languages. She learns and retains information, consuming nearly 160 TB of memory every 8 hours. The bio-organic lace that makes up the net of her brain is a miracle, with the possibility of infinite memory. She is perfect in every sense of the word.

She is a glorified fuck toy.

The second the first android became commercially available, one of the first markets they hit was sex work. If nothing about late stage capitalism drove you crazy, that would have. Fuck curing cancer, or making androids for the dangerous, back breaking work people wreck their bodies to do, X Tech decided people needed a sex doll with a 100k price tag. The world’s most expensive cum sock. And yeah, alright, maybe I’m just bitter, partially because there’s no way in hell I could ever afford one, even as an android technician. But what a waste. She sits on my examination table, dutifully unzipping her black leather catsuit. Her managers always manage to stick her in something stupid looking, so overblown and sexualized they stop even being sexy at a certain point.

She looks up at me with lilac eyes. Last time they’d been blue. I like this shade better, I think, though I could do without the electric blue bob they have her wearing today. ”Your crash reports say you’ve been throwing error codes whenever a stream donation comes in over 2k,” I say. Which, for a bot like Ren, is quite a lot of her donations. “It’s probably just a bug in payment processing.” I look again over her diagnostics, floating on the screen at my desk. “Any complaints I wouldn’t find in the debug menu?”

”My heart has been feeling strange,” she says. I pause and look at her over the top of my glasses. “Well, firstly, it’s not your heart. An aether pump does not a heart make. Secondly, it shouldn’t feel like anything. You’re supposed to ignore the inner workings, it’s all background programs, runs without you thinking about it.” She shrugs. Her shoulders are pale as she rolls down the catsuit and pulls her arms from the sleeves, bunching up the tight leather around her midriff. Her breasts are small and round, standing upright as pretty as a Botticelli painting. I’d noticed the small bumps on either side of her nipples (Christ, did the things ever go soft? Or were they just always cutting glass?) but didn’t register until I saw them now that her managers had pierced them sometime since our last checkup. Little silver bars were stuck through the pink nubs, with winking silver balls on either end. Alright, cool, chill.

I clear my throat and pull up my rolling stool. “Well, let’s just take a look then.” I shift once I’m seated to alleviate the pressure of my stiffening cock. Listen, I’m not a technophile, honest to God. I go out of my way to filter out androids when I’m scrolling through porn sites because, despite the leaps and bounds we’ve made in technology, the uncanny valley is still a thing. It feels weird getting off to bots. But then there’s Ren. And fuck me if she isn’t the most attractive thing I’ve ever seen. I put a hand on the back of her neck, my thumb resting at the diagnostic mode button hidden just under the edge of her jaw. I feel the soft bump that sinks in when I press. Her lilac eyes flash black with snatches of white text, then roll back to lilac. Damn, she smells like a new car.

I glance back at the monitor, and as I suspected, nothing comes up about the aether pump. It seems in perfect working order. Still, I dig around my box of scrap wires and spare tubing until I find my mostly neglected stethoscope. I don’t often have to use it, but I feel a trill of excitement go up from my stomach to think I get to use it on Ren. I plug up my ears and put a hand on her shoulder, taking the bell of the steth in my other hand. Her breasts rise and fall with the rhythm of her breathing, set to mimic human intervals. The real purpose is to cool down her insides and keep her from overheating, but just like the aether pump and its auditory cues, its designed to mimic humans as closely as possible. After a guy fucks something like Ren, he gets the added benefit of being able to lay next to her and listen to her breathing. Feel her heart beat. Doesn’t matter what the purpose of the design is for, it matters so he doesn’t feel like he’s fucking a 100k fleshlight with arms and legs. I press the steth to a spot above her breast and it sinks into her pillowy soft skin like it was real. Cool it, Christ, you can’t get so hot and bothered over everything. Heel, boy.

But my thumb makes a slight imprint against her tit, and it’s hard to think of anything else. Same thing happens when I press the steth against a space under her breast, and it lays warmly against the back of my hand. The pump, like the fake lungs, is designed to look and act and even sound like a heart, pumping coolant through her body. I tell her it’s not a heart out of some petty, pedantic need to distance myself and my unique humanity, but truth is, the thing is a heart. She could die if something went really wrong with it, and a lot of bots have. Sudden cardiac arrest was one of the main bugs in the 2.3 rollout. It got so bad, tons of models in the service industry had to be recalled, because mechanical line cooks and servers were dropping if the ovens got too hot. My hand still on her neck, I pull her forward and press the bell to her back. Her forehead brushes against my shoulder, her gaudy blue wig draping against the side of my neck and jaw. I tilt my head just enough my nose brushes her hair. Fuck, she really does smell good.

“Well, I don’t hear any irregularities,” I tell her, because I don’t. The thing is pumping liquid aether around her body at around 70 bpm, like it should. She draws up from my shoulder, glancing at me sideways. “It only seems to happen with clients,” she says, drying out my throat in an instant. “Clients?” “Mhm. Whenever one of them climaxes. If they do it inside me, my heart starts going very fast. I get foggy and I can’t think afterwards.” I swallow. “Right,” I say, “I mean… I can’t exactly test that, Ren.” She touches my wrist. “It’s rather frightening, Doc. I worry…” She pauses, and I try very hard not to say out loud what I’m thinking. You shouldn’t be frightened of anything, Ren. You’re not supposed to feel any of this. She sits back, bringing her hand up, her fingers curling against where her pump lies in her chest, half covering her nudity.

She doesn’t want to get recalled. I wince in spite of myself. If she has the same defect others in her rollout had, she’s going right back to X Tech. I push the steth around my neck, scooping back hair from my face. “It’s a pretty fatal system flaw. It… I could… Well, I-“ I can’t look at her. Fuck, I really can’t look at her. My face feels hot. This is the plot of like, 90% of bot R34 on the internet. I might as well be a pizza delivery guy and she a lonely housewife who’s a few bucks short on a large sausage. She ‘breathes’. Her chest goes up and down, the lights winking off her pierced nipples. She’s so goddamn gorgeous.

“Doc?” “Thinking,” I huff. I spare a glance around the other cubicles bordering mine. Big glass offices, designed for this exact stupid fucking thing I’m about to do. The first guy who got caught with his dick in a bot ruined it for everyone, so now my coworkers and I are subjected to rat lab cubicles where we can look in on each other at any given moment. People around us testing reflexes, repairing cosmetic damage, quashing bugs. What I was about to do was also technically debugging, but there was no way in hell my boss was gonna see it that way if he saw my flat ass pumping in and out of a bot worth more than I make in a year on the other side of plexiglass. Alright, cool, chill. I scoop up my backpack with my work laptop and sling it over my shoulder. “Bathroom,” I whisper.

Cut to Ren and I, locked in the women’s bathroom. We have three women in the office, and their cubes are on the other side of the building, closer to another bathroom. This one is usually empty. Cut to her, awkwardly standing in front of a toilet. Me, on the verge of being the Most Fired Man Who Ever Lived. For extra security, I’d stuffed us both into a stall, locking it behind me too. It's cramped, which adds to the feeling this is absolutely not what I'm supposed to be doing. But hey, it's my job, isn't it?

I awkwardly maneuver around her and sit on the toilet lid, hastily undoing my pants. God, this is shameful. And weirdly hot? I can't tell if it's just Ren or the dozen or so corporate regulations and general laws I'm breaking doing this, but I can feel the pulse in my cock, pressing up against the inseam of my jeans. Those lavender eyes flick from my face to the swollen, flushed skin, and the outer rim of her pupils flash with color. I help her roll down the leather catsuit and then, holy shit, Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I’m inside her. She feels real. My hands on her back, my face buried in her tits, her thighs on mine, she feels realer than any woman I had ever known. My breath warms her artificial skin, and the barbell through her nipple is cold, the contrast making me shiver whenever the hot skin of my cheek touches the metal. My fingers slide up her stomach, her hips bucking and pumping me in and out of her. She’s tight. Really fuckin tight. I can feel her aether pump, the artificial heart, throbbing in her inner walls, harder than any real heart I’d ever felt. It adds to every stroke, a thumping sensation that’s nearly making me come after a couple thrusts. Christ, I might as well be sticking my dick right against the chambers of her fake heart.

The job. Right, I’m doing a job. Fuck, I’ve never loved my job so much. “Lemme- ngh, God, fuck- lemme see i-ins-side your ch-est, R-Ren.” She’s straddling my lap, panting like a porn star, her bob swinging back and forth, and she nods. The synthetic skin goes translucent, a dull blue glow that starts at her collarbone and down to the bottom of her ribcage. I spare only a brief chuckle, Man, we never could get rid of those stupid gamer lights, before I try to focus my attention on her inner workings. The aether heart is basically a simplified human one, drawing hot fluid in one side and squeezing out coolant through the other in an eternal ebb and flow. And right now, it’s going insane. The valves are snapping open and closed rapidly, the thing shuddering instead of really beating. There’s a little display window pinned under her collarbone, and it’s clocking her at 150 bpm, the green spikes of her heartbeat saw toothing across the round display port. Not totally dangerous, but as I pump inside of her and she bounces on my thighs to match my quickening pace, it keeps climbing.

Alright. As much as I want to be stuck in here forever, with a beautiful woman bouncing on my dick in a way I’ve only ever dreamed of, I have to figure out what’s wrong. I wrap my arms around her body, pulling her flush against my chest. “Hold onto me, ‘kay?” I breathe against her ear. Her arms slid around me, nails brushing briefly against my shoulder blades. I take in her scent. Focus on the sensations of her body, the sharp cold of her piercings, breasts pressed against my chest, her warm, throbbing cunt. It doesn’t take long. I start to lose the rhythm as my breath shortens, my strokes shortening too, until finally I can take it no more. I come, hot seed filling her up, bathing my cock, spilling out from between our sexes. Her back arches, a cry ripping from her throat of the most exquisite ecstasy.

Then she dies.

No, seriously, the bot quits all at once. I’m there, still trying to enjoy the feeling of my load making her even tighter and full, when she goes completely limp. Her arms slide down from my back, and the artificial pulse I feel in her cunt just stops all at once. She’s dead weight on top of me. “Fuck,” I spit, trying to readjust her, but she’s goddamn heavy. “Ren? Hey, Ren- man, what the fuck-”

I look up at her sternum to see the aether pump has stopped. The little internal monitor is reading a flatline. I fumble to unlatch the bathroom door, my other hand cradling her back, as I awkwardly shift to try and swing it open. Both of us end up in a heap on the floor when I try to pick her up. I'm apologizing to her slack and lifeless face as I disentangle myself and hastily zip up, then lay her flat on her back. Her perfect round breasts sit in the open air, her still heart glowing between them. I set my laptop beside her and hook up a USB into the command port hidden behind her ear.

There was no tip off in her crash reports, but looking now, I can see the absolute mess of code in the last few lines she ran before arresting. I clean up some of the irregularities, get rid of the redundancies, and hit reboot. Two small circular nodes glow within her chest, then snap against the chambers of her heart. Basically built in defib units. Her body jerks, hand twitching in against her cheek, her back arching slightly. Her naked shoulder blades slap against the tile floor as she falls back, limp again. But she doesn't move. Her pump is still. I glance at the monitor and see FATAL SYSTEM ERROR flash across the screen. Fuck, am I going to have to do this manually?

Growling in frustration, I throw my hands against her sternum. It's easy to get the right position when I can see her heart lying beneath a few layers of synthetic skin. Squaring my shoulders, I push down hard. Unlike with real CPR on a real person, depth doesn't matter, nor the risk of breaking ribs. She's basically Wolverine. A hydraulic crusher couldn't break her ribs. They yield though, and bow in against her spine as I rhythmically pump her heart. The force ripples through her whole body. Her stomach pops up, her shoulders shrug in, her head rolls back and forth. I look from her face down to her tits. I can't help it, they're swaying with each compression, the light catching her piercings. I can feel the cool metal rest against my fingers. The position my hands are in leaves my fingertip pressing against her nipple, still standing upright from our exercise. A shiver runs through me. Am I seriously getting hard again? It's hard not to. My eyes drink in her still body, the remnants of our session dribbling down her thigh, her breasts bouncing like they had when she was riding me.

I can almost see the corner of the screen light up with “Kink Unlocked: Reviving Dead Girls”. I glance at the monitor and see the reboot option has lit up again. When I take my hands away from her chest, I see her aether pump jerking as if trying to start again. Once more I charge the internal defibrillators. While they hum to life, I partake in a ritual that isn't strictly necessary. The hero always gets to indulge in mouth to mouth with the downed heroine. She doesn't actually need air, but her lips are slack, full and inviting. I press mine over hers, breathing air she doesn't need into her mouth. I can feel her cheeks puff, and I'm surprised but excited to see her chest rises too. I give her a few quick bursts of oxygen. Her chest jerks up and I only allow it to fall part way before I give her another, making her chest rise and fall in short hyperventilations. My hand finds itself running up her stomach to feel the motion of my breaths, up over her breast again. It fills my palm as I breathe a long, slow draft into her throat, and I roll her nipple between my fingers. She sighs out recycled air against my face when I break the seal of our lips.

Man, how do EMTs not cum when they resuscitate hot girls? The whole tableau is so erotic, I can feel my pulse once more jerk in my cock. The defibs once more slap the chambers of her artificial heart and she thrashes under the current. Her breasts sway and she again falls limp to the tiles.

“Come on, Ren,” I say under my breath, watching her aether pump swelling at uneven intervals. The chambers aren't beating right still, snapping open and closed out of sync with one another. I again check her code on my laptop, using one hand to tap through my options. The other I lay against her sternum. It occurs to me I really don't know what the fuck I'm doing. Whatever feels like it helps, I guess. Or whatever feels good. I grind my heel in against her heart in slow, rhythmic compressions with one hand. “Come on, work with me here. Breathe for me. Do something, at least let me know you're not completely bricked.” The idea that she might be makes me swallow hard. I like Ren. I don't want to ship her off to the junkyard as much as she doesn't want to be shipped.

When her heart goes still again I lace my fingers together and start pumping her chest anew. I forget my laptop entirely- this isn't a software issue, it's the hardware in her chest acting up. If I can just get the damn thing to reset. Swinging my leg over her supple thighs, I straddle her so I can use my whole body. Like this, I can feel the motion my work creates in her otherwise still body. Each powerful thrust against her pump rolls the kinetic force through her whole body. Her feet swing back and forth. The force rolls from her chest, down her stomach, even rippling her thighs. Each compression makes her stomach roll out, only now I can feel it between my legs.

Fuck it, I'm already fired. These life saving efforts have got me hard all over again, something I would have thought impossible. I unzip and thrust into her almost in one motion. It's next to impossible to actually pump into her while I'm working her heart, so I mostly settle for letting her body rock into me while I do CPR. Only when the prompt for the defibrillator pops up again do I allow myself to roll my hips into her while it charges. The thing whines quietly as I brace my hand against her chest, driving my cock deep inside her. It slaps her heart again and she arches her back, filling my hand against her sternum. Her inner walls clench with the electricity and I groan as I roll in and out of her. That's when she draws in a breath and moans all at once. Her eyes flutter open and she instinctively begins to grind her hips in rhythm with me. Before long I'm filling her up all over again and I collapse on top of her. She's back. The thought strikes me as I look down and see her aether pump snapping out a normal, if elevated rhythm. I roll off onto the welcome chill of the tile floors, my arm still slung around her.

“You okay?” I pant, my eyes half lidded as I look at her. Ren nods, smiling weakly in return. Then she’s wrapping her arms around me, burying her face in my shoulder. I hesitate, the shame of what I had done to her when she was basically dead starting to creep up now that the high is waning. But eventually I slide my arms around her in return, drawing her close to my body. “Thank you, doc,” she whispers.

“Don't mention it.” Seriously, don't mention any of this.

[dayseedrawz2]

This is gonna be in my drafts until I at least get out every design for [Ring-Misstress] so Idk how much time I got-

So yeah I decided that I'm gonna write this AU in chapters so that it makes more sense when I make content about it, and yall can ask about it ig-

This all takes place after the events of the real series (that of which we have yet to see, so anything different can just be part of an alternate timeline)

Without further ado... Let's get to it!!

Flinally!! After what felt like forever!!! With help from the others, Pomni and Caine found something groundbreaking!! The Games source code! Mostly, everyone was there to look for the exit, but they ended up finding something else...

*sigh* There's nothing here... can we go back now??

Yeah, honestly, this was a complete waste of time...

◆Come on now, guys! I'm sure they know what they're doing!◆

~Wait, look! They're back out!!~

*Pomni and Caine exit a jumble of One's and Zero's*

It's not much, but I think we found something!! But... I'm just not sure what it is... *She hands a small glitching object to Caine*

•Huh... It's... it's a developer's note! I haven't come across one of these in a while!•

Wait, what!?

Oh dang, that's right, it forgot this was even a video game-

~What's it say??~

*Silence fell as Caine read the text out loud*

•Let's see... "With the noticeable decrease in 'Bugged characters', the game should be ready for relaunch soon!" Oh...•

What... does "Oh" mean..?

•...huh? Oh yes! Uh, you all know how we have a designated place for Abstractions so that they don't destroy the place... and you?? How you have helped prevent some altogether?•

Yes..?

•Well I only implemented it after people stopped working on this game. They still think the game is okay to publish!!•

And? This is great news!! People play the game, realize we are stuck in here, and then we get help!! What are you yapping about??

•That's the thing- If more people, who for one are mostly children, come across this, they won't be able to help, and if worse come to worse, get trapped with us!•

◆oh... oh my, that does sound awful...◆

•Normally I'd be ecstatic, but I don't think it would be good if that many more people got trapped at once... let alone kids...•

Gee, missing kids in a video game. How tragic...

~Hey!~

•Wait, there's something else on here to- a "debugging code??"•

Did someone say something about Bugs??

•No, far from it... hey... this is a copy of the code for my "Ringmaster powers!" Interesting...•

Really? That's what you call em??

•Why yes!! What else could they be?? Anyways... now what do we do about this approaching situation of ours...•

Well, we're not just gonna have a ton more people in here being watched by one incompetent AI!

•... You're absolutely right, Pomni dear! Your little remark had given me an idea that might just work! Now... just how does one copy this...•

To be continued...

Hello!

This might be a weird question, but since you work in IT, do you use AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude a lot, or not at all? I’ve been learning programming for a few months, and honestly, it’s super hard. I’m definitely not a genius, so I use AI a lot to help me figure out what I’m doing and generate code.

The problem is that other students kind of judge and look down on people who use these tools, and it’s making me feel bad about it. Should I stop using AI altogether? I just don’t know how to manage without help or researching all the time.

If you have any tips, they'd really help me out 🙏

Thanks for reading this!

Hey anon! Well, the thing is that the IT industry in its entirety is pushing for AI integration as a whole into their products, so industry-wise it has become sort of inevitable. That being said, because we are still early into the adoption of AI I personally don't use it as I don't have much of a need for it in my current projects. However, Github Copilot is a tool that a lot of my colleagues like to use to assist with their code, and IDEs like IntelliJ have also begun to integrate AI coding assistance into their software. Some of my colleagues do use ChatGPT to ask very obscure and intricate questions about some topics, less to do with getting a direct answer and moreso to get a general idea of what they should be looking at which will segway into my next point. So code generation. The thing is, before the advent of ChatGPT, there already existed plenty of tools that generate boilerplate templates for code. As a software engineer, you don't want to be wasting time reinventing the wheel, so we are already accustomed to using tools to generate code. Where your work actually comes in is writing the logic that is very specific to the way that your project functions. The way I see ChatGPT is that it's a bit smarter than the general libraries and APIs we already use to generate code, but it still doesn't take the entire scope of your project into consideration. The point I am getting at here is that I don't necessarily think there is a problem in generating code, whether you are using AI or anything else, but the problem is do you understand what the code is doing, why it works, and how it will affect your project? Can you take what ChatGPT gives you and actually optimize it to the specifics of your project, or do you just inject it, see that it works, and go on your merry way without another thought as to why it worked? So, I would say, as a student, I would suggest trying not to use ChatGPT to generate code, because it defeats the purpose of learning code. Software engineering as a whole is tough! It is actually the nature of the beast that, at times, you will spend hours trying to solve a specific problem, and often times the solution at the end is to add one line in one very specific place which can feel anticlimactic after so much effort. However, what you get from all those hours of debugging, researching, and asking questions is a wealth of knowledge that you can add to your toolbox, and that is what is most important as a software developer. The IT landscape is rapidly changing; you might be expected to pick up a different programming language and different framework within weeks, you might suddenly be saddled with a new project you've never seen in your life, or you might suddenly have something new like AI thrown at you where you suddenly have to take it into consideration in your current work. You can only keep up with this sort of environment if you have a good understanding of programming fundamentals. So, try not to lean too much on things like ChatGPT because it will get you through today, but it will hurt you down the line (like in tech interviews, for example).

The quickest way to second-guess a decision to major in English is this: have an extended family full of Salvadoran immigrants and pragmatic midwesterners. The ability to recite Chaucer in the original Middle English was unlikely to land me a job that would pay off my student loans and help me save for retirement, they suggested when I was a college freshman still figuring out my future. I stuck with English, but when my B.A. eventually spat me out into the thick of the Great Recession, I worried that they’d been right.

After all, computer-science degrees, and certainly not English, have long been sold to college students as among the safest paths toward 21st-century job security. Coding jobs are plentiful across industries, and the pay is good—even after the tech layoffs of the past year. The average starting salary for someone with a computer-science degree is significantly higher than that of a mid-career English graduate, according to the Federal Reserve; at Google, an entry-level software engineer reportedly makes $184,000, and that doesn’t include the free meals, massages, and other perks. Perhaps nothing has defined higher education over the past two decades more than the rise of computer science and STEM. Since 2016, enrollment in undergraduate computer-science programs has increased nearly 49 percent. Meanwhile, humanities enrollments across the United States have withered at a clip—in some cases, shrinking entire departments to nonexistence.

But that was before the age of generative AI. ChatGPT and other chatbots can do more than compose full essays in an instant; they can also write lines of code in any number of programming languages. You can’t just type make me a video game into ChatGPT and get something that’s playable on the other end, but many programmers have now developed rudimentary smartphone apps coded by AI. In the ultimate irony, software engineers helped create AI, and now they are the American workers who think it will have the biggest impact on their livelihoods, according to a new survey from Pew Research Center. So much for learning to code.

ChatGPT cannot yet write a better essay than a human author can, nor can it code better than a garden-variety developer, but something has changed even in the 10 months since its introduction. Coders are now using AI as a sort of souped-up Clippy to accelerate the more routine parts of their job, such as debugging lines of code. In one study, software developers with access to GitHub’s Copilot chatbot were able to finish a coding task 56 percent faster than those who did it solo. In 10 years, or maybe five, coding bots may be able to do so much more.

People will still get jobs, though they may not be as lucrative, says Matt Welsh, a former Harvard computer-science professor and entrepreneur. He hypothesizes that automation will lower the barrier to entry into the field: More people might get more jobs in software, guiding the machines toward ever-faster production. This development could make highly skilled developers even more essential in the tech ecosystem. But Welsh also says that an expanded talent pool “may change the economics of the situation,” possibly leading to lower pay and diminished job security.

If mid-career developers have to fret about what automation might soon do to their job, students are in the especially tough spot of anticipating the long-term implications before they even start their career. “The question of what it will look like for a student to go through an undergraduate program in computer science, graduate with that degree, and go on into the industry … That is something I do worry about,” Timothy Richards, a computer-science professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, told me. Not only do teachers like Richards have to wrestle with just how worthwhile learning to code is anymore, but even teaching students to code has become a tougher task. ChatGPT and other chatbots can handle some of the basic tasks in any introductory class, such as finding problems with blocks of code. Some students might habitually use ChatGPT to cheat on their assignments, eventually collecting their diploma without having learned how to do the work themselves.

Richards has already started to tweak his approach. He now tells his introductory-programming students to use AI the way a math student would use a calculator, asking that they disclose the exact prompts they fed into the machine, and explain their reasoning. Instead of taking assignments home, Richards’s students now do the bulk of their work in the classroom, under his supervision. “I don’t think we can really teach students in the way that we’ve been teaching them for a long time, at least not in computer science,” he said.

Fiddling with the computer-science curriculum still might not be enough to maintain coding’s spot at the top of the higher-education hierarchy. “Prompt engineering,” which entails feeding phrases to large language models to make their responses more human-sounding, has already surfaced as a lucrative job option—and one perhaps better suited to English majors than computer-science grads. “Machines can’t be creative; at best, they’re very elaborate derivatives,” says Ben Royce, an AI lecturer at Columbia University. Chatbots don’t know what to do with a novel coding problem. They sputter and choke. They make stuff up. As AI becomes more sophisticated and better able to code, programmers may be tasked with leaning into the parts of their job that draw on conceptual ingenuity as opposed to sheer technical know-how. Those who are able to think more entrepreneurially—the tinkerers and the question-askers—will be the ones who tend to be almost immune to automation in the workforce.

The potential decline of “learn to code” doesn’t mean that the technologists are doomed to become the authors of their own obsolescence, nor that the English majors were right all along (I wish). Rather, the turmoil presented by AI could signal that exactly what students decide to major in is less important than an ability to think conceptually about the various problems that technology could help us solve. The next great Silicon Valley juggernaut might be seeded by a humanities grad with no coding expertise or a computer-science grad with lots of it. After all, the discipline has always been about more than just learning the ropes of Python and C++. Identifying patterns and piecing them together is its essence.

In that way, the answer to the question of what happens next in higher education may lie in what the machines can’t do. Royce pointed me toward Moravec’s paradox, the observation that AI shines at high-level reasoning and the kinds of skills that are generally considered to reflect cognitive aptitude (think: playing chess), but fumbles with the basic ones. The curiosity-driven instincts that have always been at the root of how humans create things are not just sticking around in an AI world; they are now more important than ever. Thankfully, students have plenty of ways to get there.

For May, I’m going to focus in hard on Medallion Works, since I now have a better idea of the necessary scope and what still needs to be done. I probably don’t get it done this month, but my objective is going to be… “get it to the point where it can be used to recreate Chapter 1 of FE9 without manual code changes”. The big thing there is going to be unit AI- I’ve got pathing and target-finding worked out for Sentry mode, but I still need the strategy layer and the execution flow, plus distance-aggro and objective-targeting behaviors.

So... mixed results. Things that work:

Paintover layers for drawing graphics on top of the default tile graphics

Enemy AI, including Sentry, Aggro, and Objective behaviors.

Creating unit and weapon templates and instantiating and editing them in a map

The map took about two hours to put together (including doodling miscellaneous custom graphics and paintovers) using the tool- cutting out the art step, it was just short of an hour. That's pretty good! But not everything is working.

First: bugs. There's a couple that I still have to nail down- one manifests as a crash bug that occurs when an enemy unit is standing on its objective and therefore can't move to it, but hypothetically it should've just done the objective when it landed there initially, and I'm not sure what happened there. Going to just have to recreate the situation with lots of debug prints in for that. There's also a bug with the map editor that causes it to forget what its current filepath is and become unable to save, which is major, but my first couple theories about how it happened didn't pan out, so further testing is needed.

Second: dialogue and scripting. The game's dialogue system works correctly, parsing a custom JSON convo format lifted from Star Seeker, but I wasn't able to get authoring complete before the deadline I set.

I've got the convo format portrait data displaying and some parts editable, but most of the authoring tool for that only half-complete, and I have no custom script actions (like centering on a map unit to indicate who's talking, or adding an item acquisition after the convo) complete yet.

Thirdly- I don't know how I missed this earlier, but I forgot to have the level-up system, uh... actually do the part where your stats increase when it happens. That obviously needs to be in before it's ready, and that's just a complex UI animation task that'll take some time to get looking smooth.

Lastly, there's a smattering of presentational touches and mechanical details that need updating. Maps need to have "gutters", parts of the map that aren't part of the logical gameplay map- the out of bounds area. Without it, scrolling the map behaves oddly and it's less clear when units at the edges of the screen are taking actions (normally conveyed by centering them first). Fences need to display on top of the units behind them. Seizing the objective needs to actually display a map-won screen rather than just printing "you win" in console. Terrain needs to have defensive effects, not just movement cost effects, and weapon weight needs to be accounted for in combat calculations.

I probably could've done all of these things had I not spent almost two full weeks playing Hades 2 and not doing anything else. Oops.

The Biggest Web Development Trends Shaping the Future

If there’s one thing we’ve witnessed in all these years as a web development agency, is that this industry never stands still, there are constant changes every now and then. Just when you think you’ve mastered a technology, something new emerges, flipping the game on its head. 

It's exciting and, let's face it, a little stressful! However, it has become essential for businesses to stay on the forefront.

We often wonder what will happen as we progress with AI and which factors will shape the future, how we create, use, and perceive the web in the coming months.

Let’s look at some trends which will influence web development this year, based on our careful observation of recent developments.

1. AI Chatbots - The Smarter Customer Support

I still remember my first encounter with a chatbot years ago. It was clunky, slow, and more frustrating than helpful. But, talking about today, AI-powered chatbots have flipped into near-human digital assistants. Thanks to advancements in large language models, chatbots are now capable of handling complex conversations, solving customer issues instantly, and even learning from interactions. The global chatbot market is expected to reach $46.64 billion by 2030.

For businesses, this means reduced costs and 24/7 customer engagement. For a web development agency like us, it’s an opportunity to build smarter, more intuitive systems. Integrating AI-driven chatbots into websites is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity.

2. Voice Search & VUI: The Future is Spoken

A few years ago, talking to our devices felt futuristic. Now, it’s second nature. Whether it's asking Alexa for the weather or using Google Assistant to send a text, voice user interfaces (VUI) are becoming essential. Over 1 billion voice searches are conducted each month.

Statista predicts that the voice recognition market will grow exponentially, and developers must optimize websites for voice search. That means shifting from traditional keyword based SEO to natural language processing (NLP). Users are asking full questions, not just typing fragmented keywords. If we don’t adapt, we risk getting left behind.

3. Low-Code and No-Code Platforms: Speeding Up Development

Well, it was evident earlier that coding was an exclusive skill, something only hardcore developers could do. But the rise of low-code and no-code tools is changing the game. Platforms like Webflow, Bubble, and Adalo allow businesses to build functional websites and apps without writing a single line of code. By 2025, 70% of new applications developed by organizations will use low-code or no-code technologies, up from less than 25% in 2020.

Does this mean developers are out of a job? Not at all. Instead, it means we can work smarter, automating repetitive tasks and focusing on complex, high-value projects. Low-code tools are democratizing web development, making technology accessible to more people while still leaving room for advanced customization.

4. Static Site Generators - Performance and Security First

Unlike dynamic websites that fetch content from a database, static site generators like Jekyll and Hugo pre-generate pages, making them incredibly fast and secure.

For businesses looking to improve SEO and loading times, static sites are a great option. Plus, with APIs and headless CMS options, we can still add dynamic elements without compromising performance. 

5. AI-Powered Web Development - Automating the Process

If 2023 was the year of ChatGPT, then 2025 is the year AI starts writing code alongside us. Tools like GitHub Copilot and Tabnine are helping developers write better code faster, suggesting functions, debugging errors, and even generating entire components.

While some fear AI will replace developers, to be honest, it’s an assistant, not a replacement. AI can handle repetitive tasks, allowing us to focus on problem-solving and creative aspects of development. Embracing AI isn’t just an option, it’s the way forward.

6. The Rise of Augmented Reality (AR) on the Web

We’ve seen AR revolutionize gaming (hello, Pokémon Go), but now it’s making its way into web development. Imagine shopping online and being able to place furniture in your living room before buying it or trying on clothes virtually.

With WebXR and AR-enabled browsers, developers can create immersive experiences that go beyond traditional 2D interfaces. This isn’t just a trend, it’s a complete shift in how users interact with websites. AR revenue is projected to exceed $50 billion by 2027.

7. Internet of Things (IoT): Web Development Meets Smart Devices

The world is more connected than ever, and IoT is at the heart of it. From smart thermostats to wearable fitness trackers, everyday objects are now internet-enabled. But what does this mean for web developers? 

We’re now tasked with building web applications that can communicate with IoT devices, process their data in real-time, and present it in a meaningful way. APIs like Xively and BugLabs are making this integration smoother, and the demand for web developers with IoT expertise is only growing.

8. Yarn Package Manager - A New Era of Dependency Management

If you’ve ever been frustrated by dependency issues in JavaScript projects, you’re not alone. That’s why I’m excited about Yarn. Developed by Meta, Yarn is designed to be faster, more secure, and more reliable than traditional package managers like NPM.

Therefore, by using lockfiles to ensure consistent versions across all development environments, Yarn eliminates the infamous “works on my machine” problem. It’s gaining traction fast, and I expect more developers to make the switch in 2025.

9. Motion UI - Enhancing User Experience with Animation

Users today expect more than just static pages, they want smooth, interactive experiences. Motion UI is becoming a key trend in web design, with CSS and JavaScript libraries making it easier to add dynamic animations and transitions.

Subtle hover effects, loading animations, and page transitions make a website feel more polished and engaging. But there’s a fine line between enhancement and overload, too much animation can slow down a site. Striking the right balance is what makes great UI design stand out.

10. Serverless Architecture - Scaling Without the Hassle

Managing servers used to be one of the biggest headaches in web development. Enter serverless architecture, where developers can run applications without worrying about infrastructure.

Platforms like AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Azure Functions allow code to execute in response to events, scaling automatically based on demand. This not only cuts down costs but also improves efficiency. For startups and enterprises alike, serverless is a game-changer.

The Future Is Unwritten

If there’s one thing I know for certain, it’s that web development will continue to evolve. The technologies and tools we rely on today may look completely different a few years from now. But at the core of it all, the fundamentals remain the same, problem-solving, creativity, and adaptability.

So, whether you’re an experienced developer or just starting out, stay curious. Experiment with new technologies. Keep learning, because the future of web development isn’t just something we observe, it’s something we build.

Are you ready to embrace the changes coming in 2025? Let’s code the future together.

Prompt Engineering: The New Digital Superpower in the Age of Generative AI

In a world where artificial intelligence can write novels, design logos, compose music, and generate photorealistic videos, one question rises above all: How do you tell the AI what you want?

The answer lies in a skill that’s becoming as important as coding — prompt engineering.

This may sound like jargon, but it’s quickly turning into one of the most in-demand abilities of 2025. Prompt engineering is the art of communicating effectively with AI models to get the exact output you want. Whether it’s generating marketing copy, building virtual worlds, or writing code, how you phrase your request can make or break the result.

As more people turn to tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Sora, mastering prompts is no longer optional. It’s a digital superpower, and it’s transforming careers, industries, and the future of creativity.

Let’s dive into why prompt engineering matters, what it looks like in action, and how Generative AI training online is helping thousands gain this futuristic skill.

What Is Prompt Engineering?

At its core, prompt engineering is the skill of crafting effective inputs (or prompts) to guide the behavior of AI systems like language models, image generators, and code assistants. These models respond to instructions, but the quality, structure, and clarity of your prompt directly influence the output.

Think of it like talking to a genie. You only get what you wish for — literally. So you better be specific, clear, and creative.

For example:

A vague prompt: “Write a blog.”

A strong prompt: “Write a 1000-word blog in a conversational tone about how prompt engineering is shaping the future of AI content creation. Include real-world examples and keep it beginner-friendly.”

See the difference? The second prompt gives the AI a roadmap to follow.

Why Prompt Engineering Is Exploding in 2025

In just the past year, we've seen an explosion of tools powered by Generative AI. From ChatGPT and Claude to image and video models like Midjourney and Runway, the ability to generate high-quality content with AI has never been easier.

But here’s the twist — the real value comes from knowing how to use them well.

Prompt engineering is like knowing the secret language that unlocks the true potential of these tools. And as organizations increasingly embed AI into their workflows, they need professionals who can command these systems effectively.

This is why roles like Prompt Engineer, AI Content Strategist, and AI Interaction Designer are appearing across job boards. Employers are no longer just looking for technical talent — they want creative thinkers who can talk to machines in the most efficient, productive way.

Real-World Applications of Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering isn’t just for AI researchers or data scientists. It’s being used every day by professionals in marketing, design, education, finance, and more.

Here’s how:

1. Marketing and Copywriting

Marketers use AI tools to generate headlines, product descriptions, and social media posts. A well-engineered prompt can produce brand-consistent content in seconds. Imagine saving hours on campaign brainstorming just by refining a few lines of text.

2. Design and Visual Art

Image generators like Midjourney or DALL·E can create stunning visuals. But describing what you want — the composition, lighting, mood, color scheme — requires detailed prompting. Designers who learn prompt engineering can explore endless concepts without ever opening Photoshop.

3. Education and Training

Teachers and course creators use prompts to build custom quizzes, explain concepts in simple terms, or generate lesson plans tailored to different learning levels. A smart prompt can create a personalized tutor in real time.

4. Software Development

Tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT can now help write code, debug scripts, and suggest improvements. But how well they perform depends on how you frame the problem. Developers who write thoughtful, context-rich prompts can drastically speed up coding tasks.

5. Entrepreneurship

Startups use AI to generate pitch decks, conduct competitor research, simulate user feedback, and even design mock apps. Prompt engineering allows founders to test ideas quickly without hiring a large team.

How to Learn Prompt Engineering

The good news? You don’t need to be a programmer or AI expert to learn prompt engineering. It’s a skill rooted in language, logic, and creativity — not just code.

And thanks to the boom in e-learning, you can now access high-quality Generative AI training online that focuses specifically on prompt engineering. These programs often include:

Practical projects using ChatGPT, Midjourney, DALL·E, and others

Prompt refinement techniques

Real-world use cases

Prompt libraries and templates

Ethics and responsible AI use

Some even offer certifications that are now recognized by employers eager to integrate Gen AI into their operations.

So whether you're a student, freelancer, or working professional, learning prompt engineering online is one of the smartest investments you can make in 2025.

Tips to Start Prompt Engineering Today

If you're curious to try prompt engineering on your own, here are a few tips to get started:

1. Be Clear and Specific

Vague prompts lead to vague answers. Add as much relevant detail as you can, especially the style, format, tone, and intent.

2. Use Examples

If you want AI to mimic a certain style, give it an example. For instance, “Write this in the style of The New York Times” gives the AI a clear reference point.

3. Iterate

Don’t settle for the first response. Tweak your prompt, reword your request, or add context. Prompt engineering is as much about iteration as it is instruction.

4. Structure Matters

Break down complex tasks into parts. Instead of one long prompt, try multiple prompts or step-by-step instructions.

5. Explore Pre-built Prompt Libraries

Many online platforms and communities now share prompt libraries for various use cases. These are great for learning and inspiration.

The Human Touch in a Machine World

As powerful as AI becomes, it still relies on human creativity to guide it. Prompt engineering bridges the gap between human intention and machine execution. It’s the translator, the conductor, the magician behind the curtain.

In the coming years, it won't be enough to just use AI tools. The edge will belong to those who can guide them skillfully.

That’s why enrolling in Generative AI training online is no longer just a tech interest — it's a career upgrade, a creative boost, and a future-proof decision.

Conclusion

Prompt engineering is not a passing trend. It’s the new literacy of the digital age. As Generative AI continues to evolve, those who know how to speak its language will shape the future of work, art, and innovation.

So whether you're building a business, designing a campaign, or teaching a class, this new digital superpower is yours to master. And the best part? You don’t need a computer science degree — just curiosity, creativity, and the right training.

Build a Banking App Without Breaking the Bank

Let’s be real: building a mobile banking app from scratch is no joke. It takes time, it eats up your budget, and it requires a small army of developers, designers, testers, and compliance experts. And in today’s fast-moving digital economy, speed is everything. Customers expect slick, secure, and intuitive apps that just work — no glitches, no delays.

That’s where white-label mobile banking solutions come in and save the day.

If you’re a financial institution or fintech startup trying to keep up with the big players, there’s a smarter, faster way to get your mobile app out there without blowing your budget. Instead of reinventing the wheel, white-label platforms let you tap into pre-built, fully-loaded mobile banking frameworks that you can brand, tweak, and launch — fast.

Let’s break down why this approach is turning heads and how it can seriously slash dev time and costs, all while delivering a top-notch mobile experience.

What Are White-Label Mobile Banking Solutions, Anyway?

Think of white-label solutions like a build-your-own pizza. The dough and sauce (aka the backend and core app features) are already made. You just add your toppings — your brand, your design, and any extras your customers want — and it’s ready to serve.

These platforms are built by third-party mobile app development companies who know the ins and outs of fintech app development. You get a solid, secure base that’s been tested, approved, and ready to scale. All you have to do is customize it to fit your vibe.

Speed Wins: Get to Market in Months, Not Years

If you go the traditional route and build a banking app from scratch, you’re looking at 12 to 18 months of design, development, testing, debugging, compliance reviews, and deployment. And that’s if everything goes smoothly (which, let’s be honest, it rarely does).

With a white-label solution, you can launch in as little as 3 to 6 months. That’s a game-changer — especially in an industry where staying ahead of tech trends and customer expectations is key.

Why so fast? Because you’re not starting from zero. The structure, backend systems, and many features are already done. That leaves you more time to focus on UI/UX design for mobile apps, branding, and polishing the customer journey.

Big Savings: Keep Your Budget in Check

Custom mobile banking apps can easily run you upwards of $500,000, depending on complexity. And that’s just initial dev costs — not counting maintenance, compliance updates, feature enhancements, and bug fixes down the road.

In contrast, white-label mobile app development services usually land somewhere between $50,000 and $150,000. That’s a huge cut in costs, and the savings don’t stop there:

You don’t need to build a dev team from scratch

You avoid high infrastructure and hosting costs

You reduce ongoing maintenance headaches

You get updates and support baked into the service

It's a cost-efficient way to invest in a modern, future-ready banking experience without draining your entire IT budget.

Pre-Loaded with Killer Features

White-label apps aren’t bare-bones. In fact, many come stacked with features your customers expect — and then some:

AI-powered digital onboarding with seamless eKYC

Biometric logins (think fingerprint and facial recognition)

Push notifications for real-time transactions

Mobile wallet integrations (Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.)

Cardless ATM access

Personal finance tools like budget tracking, spend categorization, and savings insights

These features are already coded, tested, and optimized, which means less time fiddling with integrations and more time delighting users.

Plus, many providers stay ahead of the curve, so you get regular updates with new tools and enhancements — all without lifting a finger.

Built-In Security & Compliance (Because You Need That)

Banking apps handle sensitive info, so security isn’t optional — it’s a must-have. The good news? White-label solutions don’t cut corners here.

These platforms are built with end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, fraud detection systems, and all the essentials to meet global compliance standards like:

GDPR

KYC

AML

PSD2

They’re also regularly audited and updated to stay in line with evolving regulations. So instead of hiring a legal and compliance squad, you get peace of mind baked right into the product.

Flexible, Scalable, Future-Proof

Your business won’t look the same in five years. Maybe not even in one. As you grow, your app needs to keep up — more users, more features, more transactions.

White-label banking platforms are built to scale. Whether you’re a small credit union or a fast-growing fintech startup, you can:

Add new features without rebuilding the core

Integrate with third-party tools and APIs

Expand into new markets or regions

Adapt to changing customer needs on the fly

This flexibility is what makes white-label so appealing for on-demand app development. You don’t need to guess what your app will need in five years — just scale and evolve as you go.

Real Success, Real Results

White-label solutions aren’t just theory — they’re already driving real results:

ABN AMRO’s Grip App: A perfect example of a white-label success story. The app lets users track and manage their finances across multiple banks, all from a clean, intuitive interface.

Infopulse & Nordic Banks: Over 10 banks in the Nordic region teamed up with Infopulse to roll out a native iOS/Android mobile banking app. They got secure, scalable apps at a fraction of the time and cost it would’ve taken to build from scratch.

These stories prove the model works — and works well.

How to Pick the Right Partner

All white-label providers are not created equal. If you're shopping around for one, here’s what to look for:

Customization: Make sure you can truly tailor the app to your brand — not just slap a logo on it.

Features: Look at what’s included and whether it matches your customer’s needs.

Security & Compliance: Confirm they meet the standards your business demands.

Scalability: Will the platform grow with you?

Support: Do they offer solid ongoing support, updates, and maintenance?

Don’t just go with the cheapest or fastest option. You want a mobile application development company that understands fintech and can deliver a polished product your customers will love.

Final Thoughts: Stop Wasting Time & Money

If you’re still thinking about building a custom mobile banking app from the ground up... maybe stop. Unless you’ve got deep pockets and time to spare, there’s a better way.

White-label mobile banking solutions give you speed, flexibility, and cost savings — all without sacrificing quality or security. They’re perfect for any financial brand that wants to launch fast, compete hard, and evolve quickly.

So whether you’re looking for mobile app developers for hire, exploring mobile app development services, or planning your next big fintech app development move — keep white-label on your radar. It might just be the smartest business decision you make this year.

Reworking & Redesigning the interiors - Building

As stated, I doubled the size of the rooms vertically and horizontally. They can now fit about 4 of the old ones inside.

The next change was, with the help of the below post, redesigning my spawner code. It is now far neater and self-contained, which I appreciate. Unfortunately, for some reason, the enemies do spawn but get stuck in the air and are unable to move

I tried trawling through forums and debugging the AI until I realised that the player would also get stuck there. As it turns out, some idiot [me] had forgotten to disable collision on the spawner and the AI was unable to move, being trapped inside.

The next system I created was a melee function in the player, which will be used to 'open' doors. I wasn't initially sure how to easily discern what way the player was looking, fortunately Get Forwarde Vector either gives 1 or -1 for left/right, which worked.

I also implmented a simple interface with a melee function to my player, room and enemy.

This is the code and outcome of my door. It uses the same logic as the spawner with multiple meshes being placed in the interior that spawn doors and destroy themselves when the game begins, effectively becoming doors. Unfortunately, the doors don't always get deleted as the point at which the line trace starts can happen behind the door. Moving the point inside the capsule hitbox for the player and slighly increasing the trace length [the melee range], this became far more consistent. I now have doors!

I began work on my first proper interior and quickly discovered the table had no collsion. The other items did - just not THAT one specifically, despite having identical collision settings

Changing the mesh fixed this. Worrying but, sure. Whatever you say UE5

At some point, I managed to completely screw up the system deciding whether a room should be open at the top or not

shockingly, this didn't work.

I tried recreating my old code in the individual rooms. This also did not work. Upsetting.

With no remaining options, I elected to reimport code from previous versions. I have absolutely no idea where the problem was but APPARENTLY it's fixed now - not only is the wall spawning fixed, but room generation is working fine now. Fascinating.

I achieved my goal of launching. And I've never come this close. Deep work feels like it's a part of how I operate now. And I love it.

I made more progress in the last 35 days than in 35 years prior. I went from having 100 ideas and 0 execution, to 1 idea and 100% ship fast mentality. I owe it all to a few moments of encouragement that I never got before, not for the lack of skill, but for the lack of trying. Don't wait. Start tonight. LFG!!!
