Before Was At Least Cheaper

Ah yes, the classic security nightmare: a pentester casually strolling through your entire email database because someone copy-pasted GPT's code without reading past the first line. But sure, blame the AI tools instead of, you know, actually reviewing the code before deploying it to production. The real comedy here is that Supabase and GPT are just sitting there, minding their business, while vibecoders—those magical developers who "feel" their way through coding without understanding what they're doing—create data breaches with the confidence of a thousand suns. It's like blaming your GPS for driving off a cliff when you weren't even looking at the road. Pro tip: If your authentication logic was written by an LLM and you didn't verify it, you're not a developer—you're a liability with a keyboard. Read the code. Understand the code. Or at least Google "how to not expose my entire database" before the pentester does it for you.

Look, I get it. ChatGPT writes your code now, Copilot autocompletes your thoughts, and some AI agent probably deployed to prod while you were making coffee. But sometimes you just gotta go back to basics and actually read that 13-year-old StackOverflow answer with 2.3k upvotes that solves your exact problem. You know, the one marked as duplicate but is actually more helpful than the "canonical" answer. There's something beautifully primitive about copy-pasting code from a stranger on the internet and just trusting it'll work. No fancy AI explanations, no "let me refactor this for you" — just raw, unfiltered solutions from developers who've already suffered through your exact pain. StackOverflow: the OG of "have you tried turning it off and on again?"

When AI confidently told everyone there are only two Rs in "strawberry" (spoiler: there are THREE), the internet collectively lost its mind. Like, bestie, you can write sonnets and debug code but you can't count letters? The meme roasts AI's infamous fail by comparing it to stroke symptoms—because honestly, that level of confident wrongness IS concerning. The "incoherent speech" panel hits different when your supposedly superintelligent overlord can't even spell-check its own existence. It's giving "I can generate entire novels but basic literacy? That's where I draw the line." The irony of AI promising world domination while simultaneously failing kindergarten-level tasks is *chef's kiss* peak comedy.

So apparently AI is the shiny new toy everyone's excited about, but somehow it's also the perfect scapegoat for mass layoffs. Companies are out here replacing entire dev teams with "AI agents" while Steve Ballmer over here is doing his best interpretive dance about innovation and cost-cutting. The real kicker? Those same companies will be desperately hiring back developers in six months when their AI agents start hallucinating production code and suggesting they store passwords in plain text. But hey, at least the quarterly earnings looked good for one quarter, right? Nothing says "we value our engineering talent" quite like replacing them with a chatbot that confidently tells you to use deprecated libraries from 2015.

GASP! The AUDACITY of developers thinking they can hide behind AI! 💅 When you run git blame to find out which MONSTER broke the code, it reveals the actual HUMAN criminal - not GitHub Copilot! Your AI assistant isn't taking the fall for your disaster of a commit, sweetie! That's right, your name is PERMANENTLY etched in the git history hall of shame! There's no escaping accountability in this dystopian developer hellscape!

You ask for proper design documentation—wireframes, user flows, component libraries, maybe some accessibility guidelines—and instead you get a requirements doc that looks like it was generated by an AI that learned UX from reading fortune cookies. The brutal contrast here is *chef's kiss*: one side is desperately pleading for actual design specs, while the other side casually hands over what can only be described as generative AI word vomit wrapped in a Google Doc. The term "slop" has become the perfect descriptor for low-effort AI-generated content that technically exists but provides zero actual value. It's like asking for a Figma prototype and getting back a ChatGPT hallucination formatted as a PRD. The design team probably spent 5 minutes typing "create a requirements document for our app" into some AI tool and called it a day, while you're left trying to build an actual interface from what essentially amounts to corporate lorem ipsum.
