LPT: Don't Copy Paste AI Slop Without At Least Minimally Understanding What You Are Doing, Guys!
So you're feeling adventurous, installing Linux for the first time, everything's going smooth. Then you hit a snag and ask your favorite AI chatbot for help. It confidently spits out some commands, and you—being the trusting soul you are—copy-paste them straight into the CLI without reading. Plot twist: the AI gave you commands for a completely different file system. You just shoved RTFM (Read The Freaking Manual) instructions into a CLI that expected something else entirely. Now your system is toast, Linux won't boot, and you're lying face-down on the pavement wondering where it all went wrong. The moral? AI is like that friend who sounds confident but doesn't actually know what they're talking about. Always skim what you're running, or you'll be reinstalling your OS at 2 AM while questioning your life choices. Fun fact: RTFM exists for a reason, and that reason is preventing exactly this kind of disaster.

Never Ask For Help Debugging
You spend 45 minutes crafting the perfect Slack message with code snippets, stack traces, what you've tried, and your environment details. You hit send. Then someone replies "hop on a call real quick" and suddenly you're doing a live performance of your debugging journey while they watch your screen. Now you get to re-explain everything you just typed, but this time with the added pressure of someone silently judging your variable names and that one commented-out console.log you forgot to remove. The real kicker? They'll probably solve it in 30 seconds by asking "did you try restarting it?" which you OBVIOUSLY already did but now you're questioning if you actually did.

Maybe Now I Can Get Some Work Done Right After This Meme
The beautiful irony here is that when Microsoft 365 goes down, companies panic like it's the apocalypse—meanwhile developers are sitting there completely unbothered because they've been using VS Code offline, their terminal, and Stack Overflow (which miraculously never goes down when you need it). While everyone's freaking out about losing access to Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint, devs are just vibing with their local environment. No meetings to interrupt the flow state? No emails flooding in? No "quick sync" calendar invites? Sounds like the perfect workday, honestly. The real productivity killer isn't Microsoft 365 being down—it's scrolling through programming memes instead of actually coding. But hey, just one more meme, right?

When You Know Your Teammate Is Vibe Coding But He's Hiding It Well
You know that look. The one where you're watching your coworker absolutely demolish a feature implementation while listening to lo-fi beats, completely in the zone, and somehow they're acting like it's just another Tuesday. Meanwhile you're over here wrestling with a merge conflict for the third hour straight. The real skill isn't the coding—it's maintaining that poker face during standup when the PM asks how it's going and they casually say "making progress" while secretly having already refactored half the codebase and fixed six bugs nobody knew existed. Respect the craft. Respect the silence.

Bubbles Gonna Pop Sooner Than We Thought
When AI tools and low-code platforms started promising that anyone could build software in minutes, the tech industry collectively nodded and said "sure, Jan." But someone finally said the quiet part out loud: if coding suddenly became 10x easier without any actual innovation in computer science, maybe—just maybe—the whole thing is smoke and mirrors. It's like watching someone claim they invented a revolutionary diet pill that lets you eat whatever you want, except the pill is just a rebranded multivitamin and aggressive marketing. The real kicker? The industry's been hyping these "revolutionary" tools while senior devs are still debugging the same CSS alignment issues they were fighting in 2015.

Never Say Never
You know that monstrosity you wrote years ago? The one that makes you physically recoil when you see it in the codebase? Yeah, that 1,200-line behemoth with nested if-else statements so deep you need a map and a flashlight to navigate them. You promised yourself you'd refactor it "someday" and then conveniently forgot it existed. Fast forward to today: a critical bug appears, or worse, a "simple" feature request that touches that exact function. Now you're stuck wrestling with your past self's crimes against clean code. The best part? You can't even blame anyone else because git blame points straight at you. Nothing quite captures that special blend of regret, horror, and resignation like having to debug your own spaghetti code from 2019.

I'm Blue Daba Dida Ba Die
The ascending levels of enlightenment based on your streak platforms is absolutely SENDING me. YouTube at 1000 days? Your brain is basically a dusty fossil. Reddit at 500 days? Congrats, you've achieved mild sentience with those colorful sparks. But WAIT—Duolingo at 100 days has you transcending into the COSMIC REALM with full galaxy brain energy. Then Brilliant at 50 days turns you into some kind of blue superhero deity shooting lasers from your chest. GitHub at 10 days? You've basically achieved GODHOOD with divine powers radiating from your hands. And the punchline? A -5 day streak on Pornhub has you reaching ULTIMATE NIRVANA, sitting in peaceful meditation with your chakras aligned and inner peace achieved. The inverse correlation between productivity and enlightenment is *chef's kiss* levels of satire. The title referencing "I'm Blue" by Eiffel 65 is the cherry on top because yes, we're ALL blue from the soul-crushing grind of maintaining these streaks.

$0.49 Is For The Thermal Paste. I'll Manifest The Rest.
Nothing says "financially responsible adult" quite like holding a $300+ AMD Ryzen processor in your hand while your bank account is screaming in binary. The delusion is strong here—watching PC build videos with enough money to maybe buy a single stick of thermal paste, convincing yourself that somehow the rest of the components will just materialize through sheer willpower and positive thinking. It's the tech equivalent of watching cooking shows while eating instant ramen. You're out here studying RGB configurations and debating whether the 7800X3D is worth it over the 7700X when you can't even afford the motherboard box it would sit in. But hey, at least you'll be VERY educated when that tax return hits... in 6 months. The gap between aspiration and bank balance has never been more beautifully captured.

Spent Five Hours Coding For A Two Line Main Function
The beautiful irony of good software engineering: you spend hours architecting elegant helper functions, utility classes, and abstraction layers, only to end up with a main function that basically says "run()" and "exit()". It's like building an entire factory just to press one button. But here's the thing—that massive script book contains all the actual logic, error handling, and complexity, while your main function gets to be the minimalist zen master that just orchestrates everything. Clean code principles at their finest: your main should read like poetry while your implementation looks like a legal document. The ratio never lies though. If your main function is longer than your helper code, you're either writing a script or committing crimes against abstraction.

Bubbles Gonna Pop Sooner Than We Thought
So coding suddenly got 10x easier overnight with AI tools, but somehow we still need the same number of developers? Sure, Jan. The tweet's calling out the elephant in the room: if productivity supposedly skyrocketed thanks to ChatGPT and Copilot, why hasn't anything fundamentally changed in the industry? Either these tools aren't as revolutionary as VCs claim, or companies are just hoarding the efficiency gains while pretending everything's normal. Spoiler alert: it's probably both. The "fake ass industry" comment hits different when you realize we've been through this hype cycle before—remember when low-code platforms were gonna replace us all? Yeah, we're still here writing nested ternaries at 2 AM.

I Don't Need No Rolex
When you strap RAM sticks to your wrist like a luxury timepiece, you're not just telling time—you're telling everyone you have your priorities straight. Who needs a $20,000 watch when you can flex with $2,000 worth of DDR4 that actually does something useful? Plus, this baby tells you the time in binary if you squint hard enough. The ultimate power move for any developer: wearing the very thing that could've fixed your Chrome browser eating 32GB like it's a light snack. Fashion is temporary, but 64GB of wrist-mounted RAM is forever. Or at least until DDR5 becomes affordable.

Code Reusability
Oh honey, someone out there really took "Don't Repeat Yourself" to a whole new level of chaos. We've got ONE light switch pulling double duty controlling BOTH the lights AND the elevator because apparently separating concerns is for people with actual budgets. Some architect somewhere was like "why waste money on two switches when we can create a beautiful nightmare?" Now you've got people trapped in darkness every time someone needs to go up a floor. It's giving "tightly coupled code" energy but in REAL LIFE. The building management really said "let's make everything depend on everything else" and called it efficiency. Somewhere, a software engineer is having flashbacks to that one function that does seventeen unrelated things because the original dev thought they were being clever.
