Include a JavaScript file

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

Include the 'utils.js' file in the main application bundle for the new feature I'm working on.

Before this user authentication module goes live, ensure it securely includes the 'auth-config.js' file, but only after verifying the environment variables are correctly set, so we don't expose sensitive keys.

I'm trying to add a new utility script to a legacy module, and it's not recognizing the functions.
I'm trying to include a new 'validation.js' script in an older part of the application, but none of its functions are available where I need them. We're pushing to get this bug fix out by end of day Friday, and I'm worried I'm missing some obscure dependency or load order issue unique to this legacy codebase. Is it safer to refactor the old module to use modern imports, or should I try to force the script inclusion, risking unexpected side effects?

I frequently struggle with managing dependencies and ensuring scripts are loaded in the correct order across different parts of our application.
I often waste time debugging 'function not found' errors or unexpected behavior because scripts aren't loaded in the right order or their dependencies aren't clear. This slows down development and introduces fragility. What habit should I change to better manage script inclusions and dependencies, especially in a growing codebase, so I can avoid these recurring integration headaches?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from JavaScript's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
