YAFIYGI is an English computer phrase meaning You asked for it, you get it.

This expression, most often used ironically, refers to text editors and other low-level tools used directly on the command line and without any GUI other than the terminal. You get exactly what you asked for, but it is often difficult to anticipate what you actually asked before it was too late.

The expression is inspired by WYSIWYG: what you see is what you get, the difficulty being to display what you want. In YAFIYGI, it is easy to get what you want, but it can be very complex to formulate an order that exactly conveys this request.
