The ultimate programmer's paradox caught in 4K! The person asks ChatGPT if it can write code without copying from others, and ChatGPT fires back with "No, can you?" It's the digital equivalent of holding up a mirror to humanity's coding practices. Let's be honest—we're all just sophisticated copy-paste engineers with Stack Overflow browser tabs permanently open. The irony is delicious considering most of our "original" code is just remixed snippets we've collected like rare Pokémon cards throughout our careers. Even the most senior developers are just better at disguising their sources!

Look at me, taking a picture of ChatGPT instead of actually writing documentation. It's the modern dev equivalent of taking vacation photos of the information plaque instead of the actual mountain. Why spend hours documenting code when I can just ask an AI to do it later? Ten years of experience has taught me that future me will definitely understand what current me was thinking without proper docs. Totally. The irony of treating documentation like a distant, majestic view while the actual codebase is right there needing attention is just *chef's kiss*. We've evolved from "the code is self-documenting" to "the AI will document it for me."

The eternal struggle of our profession: Stack Overflow tells you you're an idiot for asking basic questions, while ChatGPT cheerfully validates your most questionable code decisions. After 15 years in this industry, I've learned that validation feels better than correctness. Who needs code review when you can have an AI tell you your spaghetti code is "absolutely right"? The best part is ChatGPT won't even remind you that this question was asked 7 years ago and marked as duplicate.

That moment when a children's chair has better edge detection than your 3000-line image processing algorithm. Spent two weeks optimizing your code only to be outperformed by a piece of furniture from Blues Clues. The black outline is just mocking your gradient descent functions at this point.

Nothing quite captures the exquisite agony of being a junior dev like watching your client speed-run straight into a disaster you predicted THREE WEEKS AGO. You're sitting there, wisdom bubbling up inside you like a volcano, knowing EXACTLY how to fix it because you've literally watched this trainwreck happen a dozen times before. But can you say anything? NOPE! Because you're on that sweet junior salary and apparently that means your brain doesn't count yet. So you just sit there with that forced smile plastered on your face, internally screaming while the client barrels toward catastrophe like it's their life's mission. The hierarchy has spoken, and your role is to suffer in silence while pretending everything is fine. Totally fine. Nothing to see here. Just another day in paradise where experience is inversely proportional to your ability to use it.

The AUDACITY of command line tools thinking I'd stoop so low as to type --help ! Why spend 10 measly seconds reading documentation when I can spend 5 GLORIOUS minutes crafting the perfect question for GPT? My pride simply cannot handle the thought of consulting built-in help menus like some kind of... *shudders*... EFFICIENT DEVELOPER. I'd rather die dramatically waiting for an AI response than admit I don't know every single flag option by heart. It's not stubbornness, it's a LIFESTYLE.
