Crutchless Coding

4 minutes ago 833 views 0 shares

The evolution from peasant to deity, visualized. Using a cursor? Cute, your brain is on standby. VS Code lights up a few neurons with its IntelliSense and extensions. Then vim/emacs users enter the chat with their galaxy brain energy, thinking they've achieved enlightenment because they memorized 47 keyboard shortcuts to exit a file. But the final boss? Writing code on a whiteboard and using OCR to digitize it. That's not coding anymore—that's performance art. You're basically telling your IDE "I don't even need you to exist" while your brain operates at frequencies only visible to the Hubble telescope. No autocomplete, no syntax highlighting, just raw algorithmic thinking and the faint hope that your handwriting doesn't make the OCR have an existential crisis. Honestly, the whiteboard + OCR crowd probably writes bug-free code on the first try because they've transcended mortal concerns like "testing" and "compilation errors."

Imagine asking Santa for a YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION to make your cursor blink slightly prettier. Not world peace, not bug-free code, not even a better IDE—just a fancier cursor. The absolute audacity! Someone really out here treating their text editor like it's a luxury sports car that needs premium features. Nothing screams "I've made questionable life choices" quite like paying annually for cursor aesthetics. Your cursor already works perfectly fine for free, bestie. It blinks. It moves. What more could you possibly need? A cursor with a PhD?

You know you've found your people when someone casually mentions they manually uninstalled McAfee. That's not just a friend—that's a battle-hardened warrior who's stared into the abyss and survived. McAfee is basically the herpes of software: it comes pre-installed on your new PC, refuses to leave, and makes everything slower. The uninstall process is so notoriously difficult that John McAfee himself once made a satirical video about it. So yeah, if someone went through the seven circles of registry hell to purge this digital parasite, they deserve a medal and immediate friendship status.

Have Fun Learning Gpt

Someone woke up and chose violence. The goal here is to feed ChatGPT such cursed, chaotic code that it just gives up and starts hallucinating error messages. Think legacy PHP spaghetti mixed with recursive bash scripts, sprinkled with some jQuery from 2009, all wrapped in a Dockerfile that uses FROM scratch unironically. It's like trying to teach a language model by showing it only the worst code ever written. "Here GPT, analyze this 5000-line function with no comments and 47 nested if statements. Have fun!" The AI equivalent of making someone watch every JavaScript framework tutorial from the last decade simultaneously. Bonus points if the repo includes a README that just says "it works on my machine" and a package.json with 300 dependencies, half of which are deprecated.

Evolution After 10,000 Hours Of Coding

So you thought 10,000 hours would make you a master? Turns out it just gives you chronic neck pain and a hunchback that would make Quasimodo jealous. The "how'd you know?" starter pack: terrible posture, forward head syndrome, and the ability to debug code while your spine screams in agony. Your body literally morphs into the shape of someone perpetually staring at a screen. The real evolution isn't your coding skills—it's your skeletal system adapting to survive the sedentary lifestyle. Malcolm Gladwell forgot to mention that those 10,000 hours come with complimentary spinal compression and a one-way ticket to the chiropractor.

Why All My Jira Tickets Are 83 Points

The ancient art of story point negotiation: where developers give honest estimates and managers treat them like opening bids at an auction. Developer says 200 hours? "Too much." Manager counters with 20. Developer meets in the middle at 150. Manager scoffs and says "You just said 20!" So naturally, the developer lands on 83—because nothing screams "I've done rigorous analysis" like a prime number that's suspiciously close to the Fibonacci sequence. The real genius here is that 83 sounds oddly specific and scientific, like you've actually calculated something. It's the perfect middle finger wrapped in compliance—too weird to argue with, too confident to question. Manager thinks they won the negotiation, developer gets to say "I told you so" when the ticket takes 200 hours anyway, and everyone's happy until the retrospective. Fun fact: Story points were supposed to abstract away time estimates to focus on complexity, but here we are, still converting them back to hours and haggling like it's a used car dealership.

Whoever Tried This Is A God

The ascending brain power hierarchy of code sharing methods, where we start at "normal human" with GitHub, level up to "big brain genius" with Google Drive, achieve COSMIC ENLIGHTENMENT by taking literal photographs of your screen like some sort of caveman with a smartphone, and finally transcend all mortal comprehension by... reading your entire codebase out loud and uploading it to Audible?! Someone really woke up and chose CHAOS. Imagine debugging by rewinding to chapter 7, verse 3 where you declared that cursed variable. "Alexa, skip to the part where I forgot the semicolon." The absolute AUDACITY of turning your spaghetti code into an actual audiobook that people can listen to during their morning commute. Nothing says "production-ready" quite like a 47-hour audiobook narrated in monotone. GitHub: ✅ Version control Google Drive: ❌ No version control Photo of code: ❌❌ Good luck copy-pasting that Audiobook: ❌❌❌ "Did he just say 'semicolon' or 'semi-colon'?"

Weather App Went Low Level

When climate change gets so catastrophic that your weather app just gives up on human-readable formats and starts outputting raw binary. "Screw it, you figure it out," says the API. The temperature readings are literally 1° and 0° alternating like some kind of Boolean fever dream. It's not Celsius, it's not Fahrenheit—it's straight-up true and false weather. Your weather app just downgraded from a high-level API to assembly language because apparently the climate situation is now so dire it needs to be expressed in the most fundamental data type possible. Next update: weather forecasts delivered in machine code. "Partly cloudy" will be 0x4A3F2B .

That's Some Other Dev's Problem

Year 1: Everything is a crisis. Every bug is existential. You're debugging CSS at 2 AM wondering if you're cut out for this career while your tears blur the screen. Year not 1: npm install confetti and call it a day. Someone else will maintain it. Someone else will debug it. Someone else will cry about it. The circle of life continues. Experience teaches you the most valuable skill in software development: strategic apathy. Why reinvent the wheel when there's a package for that? Why stress about implementation details when Google exists and Stack Overflow has already solved your problem 47 times? You've evolved from "I must understand everything" to "does it work? ship it." The real wisdom is knowing that future you is technically "some other dev" too.

Anyone Else Prefer The One On The Right?

Anyone Else Prefer The One On The Right?

So your AI girlfriend comes in two flavors: the polished, user-friendly interface that normies see, and the glorious exploded view of GPUs, cooling systems, circuit boards, and enough hardware to power a small data center. One's optimized for emotional support, the other's optimized for thermal throttling. Programmers naturally prefer the stripped-down version because we know what's really going on under the hood. Who needs small talk when you can admire the raw computational power, the architecture, the sheer engineering beauty of stacked processors working overtime to generate "I miss you too 🥺"? Romance is temporary, but a well-cooled GPU cluster is forever. Plus, the right side is honest. No pretense, no illusions—just pure silicon and electricity pretending to care about your day. That's the kind of transparency we can respect.

What Do I Like As A Developer

You know you've made it in this industry when you realize the real joy isn't solving problems—it's creating them. Writing code? That's just work. But shipping bugs straight to production with confidence? That's art. That's living dangerously. That's the rush of knowing your phone might ring at 2 AM because the payment system is down, and secretly loving the chaos you've unleashed upon the world. Every senior dev has been there: you stop caring about clean code and start caring about job security. Nothing says "I'm irreplaceable" quite like being the only person who understands why the system works (or doesn't). It's the ultimate power move—become the chaos, embrace the chaos, be the chaos.

Gentlemen A Short View Back To The Past

Cloudflare outages have become the developer's equivalent of "my dog ate my homework" - except it's actually true half the time. The beauty here is that while your manager is frantically screaming at you to fix the site, you're just sitting there sipping coffee because literally nothing is under your control. The entire internet could be on fire, but as long as Cloudflare's status page shows red, you're untouchable. It's the perfect alibi: externally verifiable, affects millions of sites simultaneously, and best of all - there's absolutely nothing you can do about it except wait. Some devs have been known to secretly celebrate these outages as unexpected coffee breaks. The other guy clearly hasn't learned this sacred defense mechanism yet.
