AI Engineers Right Now

Someone discovered "vibe coding" with AI and thinks they're a developer now. Next week they'll discover what debugging AI-generated code is like when their app crashes in production and the error message is just "vibes were off." The honeymoon phase of AI coding always ends when you realize the AI confidently wrote 300 lines of beautiful nonsense that imports packages that don't exist.

Content You're a bunch of node.js hipsters that just HAVE to install everything you read on Hacker News! But Docker allows us to run our applications anywhere! Do you hear yourself? Why do we need docker if we're running a VM? A container inside a container!!!

The ultimate double standard! 😂 While designers freak out when DALL-E 2 steals their artwork, programmers are over here like "You stole my GitHub code? Sweet! Did you actually make that garbage run properly?" It's the coding equivalent of saying "I left that mess on purpose as a trap for the next poor soul!" The desperation of "pls fix my garbage code" is the silent plea we've all made when sharing our repos. We're not stealing code, we're just... collaboratively debugging . 👨‍💻✨

The irony is thicker than legacy code documentation. OpenAI, with its cute little whale logo, has become increasingly closed-source while still parading around with "Open" in its name. It's like naming your password database "Totally_Not_Passwords.txt" and expecting nobody to notice. The "ClosedAI" rebrand is just calling a spade a spade – or in this case, calling proprietary code exactly what it is. Next up: Microsoft renames to "We_Definitely_Need_More_RAM_Inc."

The corporate data science dream team standing around watching one guy with Excel do all the actual work. Classic case of "we hired seven specialists with fancy titles to stare at a hole while the person who's been using VLOOKUP since 2003 actually solves the problem." This is why your company's $2M data infrastructure still ultimately feeds into someone's spreadsheet that crashes every third Thursday. The Excel guru probably makes half what the AI consultants do, but knows where all the bodies are buried in your database.

The AI gold rush in a nutshell! Companies claiming to have "built revolutionary AI products" when they're just wrapping GPT-4 in a fancy UI and calling it innovation. It's like Dave's brilliant "homemade megaphone" that's literally just... a megaphone with extra steps. The recursive definition is chef's kiss perfect—they're not creating anything new, just repackaging what already exists and slapping their logo on it. The technical term for this is "API arbitrage," but the business term is "genius" apparently.
