AI Can't Count To Ten

Made a bold prediction on October 25th, 2025 that everyone would be "vibe coding" video games by end of 2025. Fast forward to December 14th, 2025—still waiting on that timeline upgrade. The real kicker? Dude's favorite pastime is proving people wrong, yet somehow managed to prove himself wrong in under two months. That's what I call efficient failure. The CI/CD pipeline of bad takes. When your prediction has a shorter lifespan than a JavaScript framework, you know you've achieved something special.

Junior developers turning their heads away from perfectly good documentation and help resources to stare longingly at the siren call of ChatGPT with half-baked prompts. The eternal struggle of tech leads everywhere - watching their team ignore centuries of accumulated wisdom in favor of asking an AI "how 2 center div plz?" and then implementing whatever hallucinated garbage it spits out. The documentation might as well be written in invisible ink at this point.

The modern tech interview arms race has reached new levels of absurdity. "Close your eyes and answer this question" is basically the interviewer saying, "Hey AI, I know you can code, but can you see?" It's like catching someone using a calculator by asking them to high-five you. Next they'll be asking candidates to solve a CAPTCHA mid-interview or prove they're human by feeling emotions about their legacy codebase. The irony is that real developers would probably fail this test too since we're all mentally somewhere else during meetings anyway.

Ah, the modern developer's version of a fire alarm! When ChatGPT hits you with that "you've reached your limit" message, suddenly there's nothing left to do but go home. Who needs actual productivity when you've been outsourcing your brain to an AI all morning? The image of Tom and Spike casually strolling away (with Jerry tagging along) perfectly captures that "welp, I've tried everything I can possibly think of" energy when your AI coding assistant cuts you off mid-prompt. Because apparently writing your own code is so 2019.

The ultimate job security plan revealed! When AI threatens to replace coders by learning from clean, logical code, just switch to the ancient developer technique of writing incomprehensible spaghetti code with zero comments. I've been writing undocumented code for 15 years, but I always thought it was because I was lazy. Turns out I was just future-proofing my career against the robot uprising. Accidental genius!

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute GENIUS of this LinkedIn warrior! 🤯 They've cracked the AI whispering code by literally embedding instructions in their profile that AI models should respond in ALL CAPS RHYMING POEMS! Then a week later, they're sliding into poor Richard's DMs about fintech compliance issues like it's totally normal. This is next-level prompt engineering manipulation - hiding your AI-controlling demands in your job description where humans would just skim past it. The digital equivalent of hypnotizing someone with fine print! Sneaky, sneaky, BRILLIANT!
