By this you sourely don't mean the messages shown in Claude Code, where Pi would show "Working..."

Academic style: Cooking... Sautéeing... Julienning... and similar annoying faux-brogrammer moody status messages.

It's straight from The Sims [1], which seems quite appropriate :)

You didn't have to look at "reticulating splines" all day long though. Anyway that stuff came from Sim City.
