Copilot Autocompletes An API Key

Career advice whiplash in full effect! First we had factory workers losing jobs, so everyone's like "just learn to code, bro!" Then programmers get cocky thinking they're immune to automation. Fast forward to 2025, and suddenly the coding gurus are screaming as AI steals their precious keyboard-smashing jobs. Meanwhile, the circle of life completes as we're back to recommending physical trades. Turns out the only constant in tech is that whatever career path you choose today will probably be obsolete by the time you master it. The real skill is learning how to pivot before you become a sad wojak.

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute BLOODSHOT NIGHTMARE that is trying to keep up with AI news! 👁️👄👁️ Forget your recreational substances - they're CHILD'S PLAY compared to the soul-crushing exhaustion of refreshing your feed every 5 SECONDS to discover that EVERYTHING you learned yesterday is now COMPLETELY OBSOLETE! Your eyes don't just get red - they literally EVOLVE into sleep-deprived black holes that consume light, hope, and any chance of having a stable knowledge base. It's like being trapped in a never-ending hackathon where the requirements change hourly and the documentation is written in disappearing ink!

Left side: Regular person confidently declaring they feel "totally safe using Tesla Autopilot." Right side: Programmers who actually wrote the code having an existential crisis because they know exactly what lurks in those if-else statements. Nothing makes you question mortality like knowing the corner cases your code doesn't handle. The same programmers who put "// TODO: Fix this later" in production code are now responsible for keeping your car between the lines.

The massive tower labeled "ALL MODERN DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE" vs. the tiny rectangle labeled "AI" pretty much sums up the current state of tech hype. Billions in VC funding for what's essentially a fancy pattern matcher running on infrastructure built over decades. Yet somehow AI is going to replace us all by Tuesday. Sure thing, buddy. I'll start worrying when it can configure a printer without having an existential crisis.

Asked Copilot to create a simple flexbox layout and it decided to spawn the Inception of div containers. That conditional at the top should've been v-if="canCreateNightmare" . Nothing says "I'm helping" like turning a 3-line layout into the HTML equivalent of a Russian nesting doll. And the best part? All that code just to add the same gap-4 everywhere. Efficiency at its finest!
