Idle thought: "buffalo" would be a good name for a coding agent. Then you could say things like "buffaloed buffalo", "buffalo buffaloed", "buffaloing buffulo", "unbuffaloed buffalo", "buffaloed buffalo buffaloed", "buffalo rebuffaloed", "buffalo buffaloes buffalo", and so on.

When fed back into buffalo's training, maybe all this writing would eventually drive buffalo into the singularity or some kind of other BS.
