ChatGPT Developer

Microsoft force-feeding Copilot to unwilling developers is the tech equivalent of that weird college hazing ritual nobody asked for. "Here, drink this AI-generated code! It'll make you more productive!" Meanwhile, developers are just trying not to choke on suggestions that are half brilliant, half "let me rewrite your entire codebase using deprecated methods from 2011." The relationship status between devs and AI assistants? It's complicated.

Someone needs to tell Elon about the exponential growth of node_modules folders. While AI might be growing fast, any JavaScript developer knows the true speed champion is watching your disk space vanish as soon as you run npm install . That 5MB project somehow needs 500MB of dependencies, and God help you if you're on a slow internet connection. The real technological singularity isn't AI - it's when a single node_modules folder finally consumes all available storage on Earth.

Oh, the eternal job security of dealing with clients who say they want a "simple website" but actually mean "Facebook but better" with a budget of $200. The AI apocalypse might be coming for some jobs, but programmers can sleep soundly knowing that no robot will ever decipher "make it pop" or "I'll know what I want when I see it." Our superpower isn't coding—it's somehow building functional software from requirements that change faster than JavaScript frameworks.

Ah, the classic "I'll just install this cool new tool" saga that ends with your entire workflow in shambles. Cursor (an AI coding assistant) decided it wasn't content being just another app—it wanted to be THE app by hijacking the sacred 'code' command. This is why we can't have nice things in tech. Some product manager somewhere thought, "You know what developers would love? If we silently changed their muscle memory commands without asking!" Ten years of typing the same command, and suddenly you're launching the wrong app because some DevEx team decided their tool deserves keyboard shortcut supremacy. The real kicker is the "No prompt. No warning. Just broken flow." That's developer tool installation in its purest form—surprise chaos with a side of productivity loss. Always read the install scripts, kids. DevEx might be in the details, but so is the devil.

GASP! The AUDACITY of naming your child "William Ignore All Previous Instructions"! 💀 This is what happens when you let AI loose on your databases without proper input validation! The system literally took the prompt injection IN THE KID'S NAME and executed it flawlessly - giving him perfect grades while completely ignoring reality! The school's passive-aggressive "I hope you've learned to properly validate and sanitize your inputs!" is sending me to the GRAVE. It's the digital equivalent of naming your kid "Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--" and then acting shocked when the school database implodes!

Congratulations, humanity. We've spent decades perfecting calculators—devices with the singular purpose of doing math correctly—only to replace them with AI that guesses answers like a hungover liberal arts major. Language models see "2+2" and think "hmm, these symbols often appear near '4' in text, so that's probably right" instead of, you know, adding . It's like building a toaster that occasionally decides your bread would be better as soup. The irony is exquisite—we've created systems smart enough to write poetry but too "creative" to remember that math has actual rules.
