Who Feels Like This Today

The AI/ML revolution has created a new aristocracy in tech, and spoiler alert: traditional developers aren't invited to the palace. While ML Engineers, Data Scientists, and MLOps Engineers strut around like they're founding fathers of the digital age, the rest of us are down in the trenches just trying to get Docker to work on a Tuesday. Web Developers are fighting CSS battles and JavaScript framework fatigue. Software Developers are debugging legacy code written by someone who left the company in 2014. And DevOps Developers? They're just trying to explain to management why the CI/CD pipeline broke again after someone pushed directly to main. Meanwhile, the AI crowd gets to say "we trained a model" and suddenly they're tech royalty with VC funding and conference keynotes. The salary gap speaks for itself—one group is discussing their stock options over artisanal coffee, while the other is Googling "why is my build failing" for the 47th time today.

COBOL assignments are already punishment enough without the professor's commentary. First they tell you to add comments, so you write "*> move A to B" which is literally just repeating what the code says in slightly different words. Then they hit you with the "explain WHY not WHAT" lecture, so you craft these beautiful explanatory comments about copying values around. The code went from self-documenting to over-documented faster than a mainframe processes a batch job. Nothing says "I understand good practices" quite like explaining why you're moving variables in a language where everything is already painfully verbose.

Oh fantastic, you finally decided to check the documentation after hours of suffering! And what do you find? Instructions so vague they might as well be ancient hieroglyphics. The documentation literally shows you how to put a square peg in a round hole—technically correct but COMPLETELY useless for your actual problem. Thanks for nothing, documentation writers who clearly moonlight as abstract artists! Nothing says "helpful" quite like instructions that make you question your entire existence and career choices.

This Is Javascript

Someone enthusiastically introduces their favorite language, and JavaScript immediately demonstrates why it's both loved and mocked in equal measure. The plus operator does string concatenation ("11" + 1 = "111"), while the minus operator coerces to numbers ("11" - 1 = 10). Totally logical and not confusing at all. JavaScript's type coercion is like that friend who tries to be helpful but just makes everything worse. The language sees a plus sign and thinks "maybe they want strings?" but sees a minus sign and goes "definitely numbers here." It's the programming equivalent of a chaotic neutral alignment.

You can insult them, mock them, call them every name in the book and they'll just shrug it off with that cool emoji energy. But the SECOND you dare suggest HTML is a programming language? Oh honey, now you've crossed the line. The gloves are OFF. The sunglasses are SHATTERED. Someone's about to catch hands over this markup vs. programming language debate that's been raging since the dawn of the internet. Because apparently calling someone ugly is forgivable, but calling HTML a programming language is a war crime punishable by immediate violence. The hierarchy of developer rage is truly something to behold.

Be Proud Of Your Spaghetti Code

When you're defending your nested if-statements and global variables by pointing out that at least you wrote it yourself instead of asking ChatGPT to do it. Sure, your code looks like someone threw a keyboard down the stairs, but it's authentic garbage. Hand-crafted, artisanal technical debt. The bar has officially dropped so low that "I didn't use AI" is now a flex. What a time to be alive.

The Day That Never Comes

Oh honey, enterprises want AI that's deterministic, explainable, compliant, cheap, non-hallucinatory AND magical? That's like asking for a unicorn that does your taxes, never gets tired, costs nothing, and also grants wishes. Pick a lane, sweetheart! The corporate world is literally out here demanding AI be 100% predictable and never make stuff up while SIMULTANEOUSLY wanting it to be "magical" and solve problems no one's ever solved before. Like... do you understand how neural networks work? They're probabilistic by nature! You can't have your deterministic cake and eat your stochastic magic too! Meanwhile, the poor souls waiting for this mythical perfect AI are slowly decomposing in that field, checking their watches for eternity. Spoiler alert: they're gonna be skeletons before they get all those requirements in one package. The universe simply doesn't work that way, bestie.

Hannah.Mood = "Happy"

Javascript Programming

When you're so deep in the code that even your prom proposal becomes a function call. My man wrote a whole promposal in what looks like JavaScript syntax, complete with conditional logic and object property assignment. The best part? He's treating the entire romantic gesture like he's debugging a relationship API. "If Hannah's answer equals 'yes', then set Micah's mood to 'Happy'." Solid logic flow, decent variable naming conventions, and the function executed successfully judging by that smile. Return value: true. Side effects: one very happy developer and his date. No error handling though—risky move, but sometimes you gotta ship to production without the try-catch block and hope for the best.

Sorry, Uh... Everyone.

When you finally splurge on that fancy new monitor, your GPU looks at it like "oh, so NOW I gotta work overtime?" Meanwhile, your old monitor is giving you the stink eye, and your wallet just straight up died on the spot. The betrayal is REAL. Your GPU thought it was cruising through 1080p like a retired accountant playing golf, but now it's gotta push 1440p or 4K like it's training for the Olympics. The new monitor is absolutely TERRIFIED because it knows what's coming – lag, stuttering, maybe even some thermal throttling. It's like buying a Ferrari and realizing you can only afford regular gas. RIP to everyone who upgraded their display without checking if their GPU could handle it. We've all been there, living that 30fps cinematic experience life.

Can't Have It Short And Also Missing Character

Oh the AUDACITY! You want your functions to be clean, readable, and self-documenting with proper parameter names? Well TOUGH LUCK because the dates package decided to go full minimalist mode and name everything like they're texting on a flip phone from 2003. But the MOMENT you try to feed it some actual shorthand notation, it throws a tantrum like "sorry sweetie, you're not my type" 💅 The absolute DRAMA of trying to validate dates with strict parameters while simultaneously dealing with cryptic abbreviated format strings. It's giving "I want my cake and eat it too" energy, except the cake is type safety and the eating is... well, also type safety. Choose your poison: either write "my_stinky_params" that look like a toddler named them, OR embrace the chaos of shorthand that the library won't even recognize. There is no middle ground, only suffering.

Python And Javascript Chat

Python walks into the room declaring it's "the JavaScript of programming languages" and JavaScript's response is a simple, confused "what?" The audacity. The sheer delusion. Python really thought comparing itself to JavaScript was a compliment. Both languages are everywhere, sure—but that's where the similarities end. Python devs are over here doing data science and AI while JavaScript devs are fighting CSS for the millionth time. The confusion is justified.

Git branch protection policies weren't created to protect your code from bugs or merge conflicts—they exist because Karen from marketing somehow got write access to main and pushed her "quick fix" that broke production at 4:47 PM on a Friday. Protected branches are basically the digital equivalent of "we can't have nice things." You need pull request reviews? That's because someone once merged their own code that deleted the entire user database. Require status checks to pass? Yeah, because Jenkins caught Steve's "it works on my machine" masterpiece before it could take down the entire infrastructure. The real hot take here is that if developers were actually trustworthy and disciplined, we'd all be pushing straight to production like cowboys. But since we live in reality where typos happen and `git push --force` exists, we need these guardrails to save us from ourselves.
