AI Really Does Replace Juniors

The true superpower of developers isn't writing code—it's surviving vendor hell. While everyone's panicking about AI taking our jobs, they're forgetting the eternal constant of tech: third-party vendors with documentation that's either fantasy fiction or written by someone who never used their own product. Those five desperate emails you sent last week? Still unread. That support ticket from last month? "Under investigation." Meanwhile your PM is wondering why that "simple integration" is taking so long. Good luck replacing us with AI when even humans can't figure out what the hell your API is supposed to do.

Let's be honest—while everyone's simping over AI girlfriends, the real hotties are those RTX GPUs with their triple fans and RGB lighting. Sure, your AI girlfriend might ghost you when the servers go down, but this beauty will render your games at 144 fps without complaint. The only relationship where "getting hot" is actually a feature, not a bug. Just don't ask about the power bill... that's the real relationship killer.

Oh god, this is brilliant. Just imagine all those LinkedIn posts now: "Our new cocaine-powered chatbot will revolutionize customer service!" or "Top 10 ways cocaine will disrupt your industry!" The tech hype cycle and the actual cocaine cycle have the same phases: initial euphoria, inflated expectations, crushing disappointment, and somehow still costing you all your money. The only difference is one crashes after 20 minutes and the other after your next funding round.

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 sheer audacity of asking ChatGPT to invert a binary tree in C++ while actual developers spent hours debugging pointer nightmares and memory leaks to master this! Tree inversion—flipping all nodes left to right—is that classic algorithm question that separates CS degree holders from Stack Overflow copypasters. Meanwhile, ChatGPT just spits out a perfect implementation without experiencing the character-building trauma of segmentation faults and midnight debugging sessions. The sacrifices we made learning manual memory management weren't just for someone to get the answer in 2 seconds from an AI!

Ah yes, the classic corporate love triangle. CEOs staring longingly at the shiny new AI walking by, completely ignoring the loyal developers who've been building their products for half a decade. Nothing says "thanks for your service" like being dumped for the hot new technology that probably can't even center a div properly. Those 5-year veterans are sitting there with their legacy code knowledge while the boss is already planning the AI wedding. Commitment issues much?
