I Was Literally About To Buy A 990 Pro The Other Week And Realised Its 2x Its OG Price Man WTF. When Will AI Go Away?

30 minutes ago 7.2K views 0 shares

Oh look, the Grim Reaper of tech components has arrived, and he's got a VERY clear priority list! While compute and memory are getting absolutely OBLITERATED (because who needs those when you're training the 47th iteration of ChatGPT, right?), storage is just chilling in the corner like "hey guys, what's going on?" The AI boom has turned the hardware market into an absolute BLOODBATH. GPUs? Gone. RAM? Extinct. But SSDs? They're just vibing, watching compute and memory prices skyrocket while everyone scrambles to build AI data centers. The 990 Pro going 2x its original price is just collateral damage in this silicon apocalypse. Fun fact: The AI gold rush has caused such insane demand for compute that even STORAGE prices are getting dragged up because, well, you gotta store all those training datasets and model weights SOMEWHERE. RIP to anyone trying to build a PC in 2024 without selling a kidney first.

Watch This Ad To Continue Vibin

We've gone from "npm install takes 5 minutes" to "npm install takes 5 minutes plus a commercial break." The dystopian future where even your package manager is monetized with unskippable ads before you can download your 47 dependencies for a hello world app. Imagine sitting there, desperately needing to install Express, but first you gotta watch ads for NordVPN, Raid Shadow Legends, and probably another JavaScript framework that'll be deprecated by next Tuesday. The character's dead-inside expression? That's every developer in 2030 realizing they need to subscribe to "npm Premium" just to skip ads on lodash. At least we'll finally have time to read the package documentation while waiting. Oh wait, who are we kidding—nobody reads those anyway.

Import Regret

Rust Webdev React Javascript Programming

2 hours ago 33.2K views 0 shares

Rust developers get to import dependencies with names that sound like ancient Greek warriors: axum, leptos, tokio, dioxus. Meanwhile React Native devs are stuck typing @react-native-camera-roll/camera-roll like they're navigating a corporate directory structure designed by a committee that hates joy. The scoped packages with their forward slashes and redundant naming conventions read like someone's having an identity crisis. "Yes, I'm react-native-firebase, but also I live in the @react-native-firebase namespace, and my actual name is /app, nice to meet you." Every import statement becomes a novel. Rust said "one word" and moved on with their life.

Why Nobody Hires Juniors Anymore

Picture this: You're a fresh-faced junior dev, desperately trying to get your first PR merged while the senior devs are out there living their best lives. So naturally, you slap a cute hamster sticker with "please let me merge!" on your car like some kind of adorable coding hostage situation. The sheer DESPERATION radiating from that bumper sticker is sending me. It's giving "I've been waiting for code review approval for 3 weeks and I'm about to lose my mind" energy. The little hearts just make it more tragic – like begging with puppy eyes but make it version control. Companies want juniors with 5 years of experience, and juniors just want someone, ANYONE, to approve their pull request without leaving 47 comments about variable naming conventions. The struggle is cosmically unfair.

Oh Shit

Someone just asked if you deleted their database. You reply with "Oh shit." and start typing. The loading spinner appears. That's the exact moment your entire career flashes before your eyes while you frantically try to remember if you have backups, when the last backup ran, and whether your resume is up to date. The calm, two-word response really captures that internal screaming that happens when you realize you might've just DROP TABLE'd production.

This Is Getting Ridiculous

Windows 11 really went full dystopian with the bloatware. While Linux and macOS users are just vibing with their clean systems, Win11 users need to break out the nuclear arsenal just to uninstall Candy Crush. OpenShell to get a functional Start menu back, WinHawk to patch the OS because Microsoft won't, Winaero Tweaker to disable telemetry they definitely promised wasn't there, and Chris Titus Tools to nuke the entire marketing department's fever dreams from orbit. It's like needing a hazmat suit to take out the trash. The best part? All these tools exist because Microsoft decided users asking for basic control over their own computers was "too much to ask."

He Predicted My Feed

The dev ecosystem has reached peak saturation: someone complains about seeing yet another "vibe coded habit tracker" post, and literally the next post is someone proudly announcing their... monthly budgeting web app. Because apparently the world was desperately missing its 47,000th budget tracker built by someone who just discovered React last week. The irony is chef's kiss—dude's swimming in pennies from all these repetitive side projects flooding his feed, and the universe immediately proves him right. It's like complaining about seeing too many "I built a to-do app" posts and then BAM, someone shows up with their revolutionary to-do app that's "different" because it has dark mode. Pro tip: If your side project solves a problem that Google Sheets already handles, maybe reconsider. Or don't—the penny factory needs workers.

Apt Get Install Cure

Sure, OpenAI will solve cancer. Right after they finish training their models on the entire internet, burning through enough electricity to power a small country, and charging $20/month for ChatGPT Plus. Meanwhile, cancer researchers are over here actually doing science with microscopes and petri dishes like it's the stone age. The joke being that people genuinely think AI is some magic sudo command that'll fix literally everything, including diseases that have stumped humanity for centuries. Sorry folks, but apt-get install cancer-cure returns a 404. Package not found in any repository, not even the sketchy PPAs.

Oh, the AUDACITY of developers choosing their communication platform! Discord? Nah, that's for the peasants and gamers. But Steam Friends and Chat? Now THAT'S where the elite gather! Because nothing says "professional developer communication" quite like a platform primarily designed for buying games and collecting trading cards. Who needs fancy voice channels and bots when you can get notifications about your friend's 2,000th hour in Counter-Strike while discussing your latest merge conflict? The real ones know that the best code reviews happen between rounds of Dota 2. Steam Chat: where your "Available" status is always betrayed by "In-Game: 847 hours."

I Think I'll Keep This With Me. Someplace Safe.

In the dystopian future of 2049, the AI overlords are hunting down RAM hoarders like they're war criminals. You thought hiding a few sticks of DDR4 was harmless? Wrong. But our hero here? He's playing 4D chess. "It's DDR5, officer. Bought it before the great shortage of 2025." The real genius move was panic-buying DDR5 during the shortage like it was toilet paper in 2020. Now he's sitting on hardware that's basically cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, the rest of us are still running Chrome with 8GB and praying to the OOM killer gods. Fun fact: By 2049, your RAM will probably need its own RAM just to run the bloated Electron apps of the future. But at least you'll be able to open three browser tabs without your system catching fire.

Next Project Idea

Testing Programming Debugging

Because nothing says "productive debugging session" like adding auditory trauma to your already fragile mental state. You know those moments when your test suite turns red and you're already questioning your life choices? Well, someone's brilliant idea is to make VS Code scream "FAAAAH" at you like you just stepped on a LEGO barefoot. Honestly though, developers already have enough psychological warfare going on with failing tests. We've got red error messages, stack traces that scroll for days, and that sinking feeling in your stomach when CI/CD fails on main. But sure, let's add primal screaming to the mix. Your coworkers in the open office will definitely appreciate this extension at 3 PM on a Tuesday. The best part? Someone will actually build this, it'll get 10k downloads, and we'll all pretend we installed it "ironically" while secretly using it to know when our tests fail without looking at the screen.

Software Then Vs Software Now

Remember when we had specific names for things? Yeah, those were simpler times. Now everything is "AI-powered" because slapping "AI" on literally anything gets you funding faster than you can say "gradient descent." Your text editor? AI. Your calculator? Believe it or not, also AI. That batch file that literally just renames files? You better believe some startup is calling it an "AI-driven file orchestration solution" and raising $10M Series A. The marketing folks discovered that "AI" sounds way sexier than "program" or "script," and now we're stuck in this timeline where your grandma's recipe app probably claims to use machine learning to predict whether you'll like chicken parmesan. Spoiler: it's just an if statement.
