Prompting Reindeer Games! 🦌 - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. Copilot Chat completely misunderstood your intention and gave a non-code, non-sensical answer.
  2. Used a prompt to implement input validation on a React form field.
  3. Generated a function or script in a non-required language (e.g., YAML, PowerShell) for a build/deploy step.
  4. Used a single prompt that was more than 120 words long to generate a significant block of code.
  5. Used Copilot to set up the basic state management (e.g., Context or Redux) for your React application.
  6. Used Copilot to set up error handling (try/catch) for an API endpoint in C#.
  7. Generated a fully functional Integration Test that calls your C# API endpoint.
  8. Prompted an authentication scaffolding (e.g., sign-in form, basic token logic).
  9. Used Copilot to refactor/simplify a complex C# method by changing the pattern it uses.
  10. Successfully generated a responsive React component using SCSS or a UI library (e.g., Tailwind, Bootstrap).
  11. Generated a custom React Hook that uses useState and useEffect.
  12. Prompted a database schema that correctly sets up a many-to-many relationship.
  13. Copilot suggested a function/package that is structurally plausible but non-existent.
  14. Prompted Copilot to implement logging or telemetry (e.g., Serilog or similar) in the C# backend.
  15. Successfully used Copilot Chat to explain a core concept (e.g., CORS or Thunks) without writing code.
  16. Prompted Copilot to generate a creative festive code comment
  17. Used Copilot Chat to ensure there is 100% test coverage (UI + Backend)
  18. Used a prompt to generate a T-SQL View based on two or more tables.
  19. Complete 3 PR’s that didn’t need any code review or additional prompting
  20. Got Copilot to generate a C# Pattern implementation (interface and class).
  21. Prompted a DbUp migration script that correctly uses UPSERT pattern
  22. Prompted a DbUp script that performs a data seed or initial configuration (i.e., INSERT data).
  23. Prompted a T-SQL Stored Procedure that accepts parameters.
  24. Copilot generated code that was structurally correct but fundamentally solved the wrong problem (Confidently Wrong Code).
