Brain Becoming Obsolete

Behold, the tech prophet who ascended to startup glory without understanding a single line of code! The AI startup ecosystem in 2023 is basically just throwing bearded men in togas at venture capitalists. "What's your tech stack?" "Uhhh... vibes?" Meanwhile, actual engineers who've spent decades learning complex algorithms are watching these AI-whisperers raise millions while not knowing GPT from a hole in the ground. Silicon Valley's newest business model: look wise, say "disruption" occasionally, and let the funding rain down upon your magnificent beard. The ancient Greeks had oracles, we have AI founders who let the machines do all the thinking.

The evolution of coding assistance in one perfect Ninja Turtles reference! Remember when we all relied on Stack Overflow's cryptic answers from grumpy experts who'd rather tell you why your question was stupid than actually help? Those were the dark ages. Now we've got ChatGPT, Claude, Deepseeк, and Gemini—fully grown AI assistants ready to solve our problems without judging our intelligence or demanding we read the documentation first. The student has become the master, and Master Splinter (Stack Overflow) is now just tagging along while his former pupils do all the heavy lifting. The circle of life for programming knowledge—from "marked as duplicate" to "here's 5 different solutions with explanations."

Ah, the utopian fantasy where developers actually use type systems properly instead of throwing AI at everything! Imagine a world where we didn't have to debug cryptic runtime errors at 2 AM because someone thought any was a perfectly acceptable type for everything. This futuristic paradise could be ours if people spent half the time they waste prompting ChatGPT on actually learning TypeScript properly. But no, we'd rather ask AI to generate 200 lines of untyped spaghetti code than write a proper interface. Who needs flying cars when you can have undefined is not a function?

Left side: Buff Doge (experienced coder) casually dismisses AI tools that can't handle basic database setup. Right side: Regular Doge (noob coder) is absolutely blown away that AI generated a simple landing page in 5 minutes. The real irony? Both are using the same tool. The veteran knows its limitations while the rookie thinks they've discovered digital alchemy. Tale as old as time... or at least as old as npm.

The corporate circle of life in its natural habitat! First, management gets excited about AI boosting productivity so they can slash the dev team. Then their faces drop when devs use the same logic against them. "Oh, we need fewer managers now that we have fewer devs? surprised Pikachu face " The beautiful irony of corporate efficiency cuts coming back to bite the very people who initiated them. Turns out the sword of optimization cuts both ways... who knew? 🙃

Normal humans click YouTube links with the carefree abandon of someone who's never heard of tracking algorithms. Meanwhile, programmers are over here performing digital forensics before every click, paranoid that the recommendation algorithm is secretly building a psychological profile. The incognito tab isn't just a browser feature—it's our tinfoil hat against the machine learning overlords. Because nothing says "professional paranoia" like treating a cat video recommendation like a potential security breach.
