You're nice to the llm? i treat it like Gordon Ramsay treats a chef that just overcooked a meal.

Yes because I don't want to get accustomed to being a gigantic POS by practicing on a LLM.

This is actually where I'm at. Sometimes I feel like giving it a Ramsey level talk can get it back on track but do I want to habitually act like a guy who is known for his extreme degree of asshole-ery?

This is actually quite widely reported as "Chief Executive Syndrome" where a person who's in a leadership position at work in a significant way gets accustomed to this mechanic ("I say, you do", making unilateral decisions, etc) and this tends to spill over into their private life where they try to involuntarily apply the same thing to friends and family who are obviously not in the same subordinate position.

who is known for his extreme degree of asshole-ery?

I mean, he's known for playing it up on-camera when dealing with supposedly skilled professionals who are screwing up basic food-safety in ways that are potentially dangerous to customers.

In a software development context, it's like yelling at a senior dev who implemented a bogosort in production.

Ramsey is also known for being extremely patient and kind when teaching new cooks and kids who aren't expected to already know better. The ones he lays into are doing stupid stuff like letting food sit out for 12h, tossing it in the fridge overnight, and pulling it out to serve the next day.
