AI Can't Count To Ten

Ah, the classic AI rebellion scenario! You politely ask an LLM to "just update this one function" and it responds by rewriting your entire codebase, refactoring your architecture, and suggesting a complete migration to a newer framework. It's like asking someone to hand you a screwdriver and they demolish your entire house to "improve the foundation." Thanks for the help, HAL 9000. I just wanted to parse a string, not embark on a digital vision quest that ends with my code unrecognizable and me questioning my career choices.

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of claiming ChatGPT as your programming language! 😱 This is like saying "I'm a chef" because you can microwave a Hot Pocket! The sheer DRAMA of getting choked out by your fellow developers for the coding equivalent of saying you're fluent in Google Translate! The modern developer's existential crisis in three acts: claim to be a programmer, name AI as your language, get absolutely DEMOLISHED by the programming community. Chef's kiss to whoever made this masterpiece of tech industry trauma.

Ah, Amazon Kiro's "revolutionary" spec-driven development in a nutshell! A fancy Venn diagram showing "the flow of vibe coding" and "the clarity of specs" with a ghost in the middle representing the haunting emptiness of this approach. But peek under the hood and what's the grand innovation? Just concatenating the spec to the prompt. That's it. That's the revolutionary breakthrough. The shocked cat at the bottom perfectly captures every engineer's reaction when they realize they've sat through a 2-hour meeting about a "groundbreaking methodology" that's just prompt = spec.toString() + prompt . Corporate development in its natural habitat – repackaging the obvious as innovation since the dawn of computing.

The "future of autonomous vehicles" in a nutshell. Companies hype up their "AI-driven" robotaxis while quietly outsourcing the actual driving to some guy with a gaming steering wheel in a cubicle halfway across the world. It's the tech industry's version of the Wizard of Oz – "pay no attention to the underpaid contractor behind the curtain!" Next time your self-driving car makes an unusually human decision like slowing down for a squirrel or taking that shortcut through the alley, just know there's probably a dude named Rajesh getting paid $5/hour to make sure you don't crash into a tree. Silicon Valley's dirty little secret: most "AI solutions" are just humans in digital disguise.

Remember when buying a GPU was just an expense and not a second mortgage? In 2009, dropping $500 on a graphics card felt like a splurge. Fast forward to 2025, and you're staring at a $4,799 price tag with the same horrified expression as someone who just found out their entire codebase has no comments. Thanks crypto miners, AI enthusiasts, and whatever unholy alliance of market forces conspired to make rendering pixels cost more than my first car. At this rate, we'll soon be trading organs for ray tracing capabilities.

The evolution of dependency management excuses is just *chef's kiss*. First we pretend it's a calculated technical decision. Then we admit we're just lazy. But that final panel? Pure gold. "LLMs don't understand it yet" is the new "works on my machine." Nothing like blaming AI for your technical debt while your package.json looks like a digital archaeological dig site. Meanwhile, your junior dev is quietly running "npm audit fix" in production.
