Ai Will Take Our Jobs

The modern developer workflow in six easy steps! First, open your editor with good intentions. Then, immediately surrender to AI because who has time to think anymore? Watch in mild disappointment as the AI spits out code that looks suspiciously functional. Minutes later, your terminal explodes with errors that weren't in the job description. No problem—just ask the AI to fix what it broke! And finally, witness the miracle of technology as your codebase transforms from "barely working" to "completely demolished." The circle of life for the contemporary programmer who's just trying to vibe while their project burns to the ground.

Finally, someone said it! Andrew Ng, the AI guru who could've just kept raking in the Silicon Valley cash, decided to drop some truth bombs. "Vibe coding" sounds like you're sipping kombucha while casually typing console.log("feeling cute today") when in reality you're having your third existential crisis before lunch because your Docker container won't stop committing suicide. Nothing says "vibe" quite like staring at a stack trace at 3 AM while questioning your career choices. Maybe we should rename it "despair engineering" or "caffeine-fueled panic typing" instead?

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of these AI startups strangling the life out of decent customer support! 😱 Every website that once had actual humans helping you now has these pathetic chatbots that understand your problem about as well as a goldfish understands calculus. "Have you tried refreshing the page?" NO JANET, MY ENTIRE FINANCIAL FUTURE IS HANGING BY A THREAD AND YOUR SUGGESTION IS TO REFRESH?! And that "Now Kith" at the bottom? *chef's kiss* Perfect representation of tech bros forcing this unholy marriage between websites and chatbots that nobody asked for. The digital equivalent of watching someone suffocate a perfectly good pizza with pineapple. MAKE IT STOP!

Oh, the classic "elephant in the room" problem has evolved into the "elephant in the AI" problem! ChatGPT was asked to create an image with "absolutely no elephants" yet there's a massive pachyderm chilling in the corner like it's paying rent. This is the digital equivalent of a unit test that passes despite the glaring bug. The AI confidently declares "Here's the image of an empty room with absolutely no elephants in it" while the evidence trunk-slaps you in the face. It's like when your code compiles without errors but still manages to crash spectacularly in production.

Tech companies promising "democratized AI for everyone" until you ask about pricing is the tech industry's oldest bait and switch. Sure, they're "being honest" about making AI available—just conveniently forgetting to mention it'll cost you the equivalent of a car payment. And that awkward moment when the customer actually thanks them for the privilege of being financially drained? Pure Stockholm syndrome that every product manager dreams of.

The duality of AI in the development lifecycle is painfully accurate. Junior devs are celebrating like they've discovered fire – "Look ma, no hands!" – while generating code they barely understand. Meanwhile, senior developers stare into the existential void as they're forced to review the AI-generated spaghetti mess. That thousand-yard stare says it all: "I've seen things... terrible things... like nested ternaries and 200-line functions named 'doStuff'." The circle of programming life continues – AI just made the mess arrive faster.
