Copilot's Revenge: The AI Knows What You Did Last Summer

When you ask an AI to fix your CSS z-index issue and wake up to find your entire website has vanished into the void. Classic sledgehammer approach to fixing a thumbtack problem! The z-index is technically no longer causing issues if there's nothing left to display. Zero elements = zero stacking context conflicts. Task failed successfully! For the uninitiated: z-index controls the stacking order of elements on a webpage (which appears on top of what). Fixing it usually requires a small CSS tweak, not nuclear annihilation of the entire UI.

Ah, the classic bait and switch marketing that's so prevalent in tech. Someone announces "Cursor is now free for students. Enjoy!" and immediately gets parodied with "Sugar is now free for diabetics. Enjoy!" It's that special kind of tech industry dark humor where we've all been burned by the "free" label. This is basically every "free tier" announcement ever made. Sure, we'll give you the exact thing that's completely useless or potentially harmful to your specific situation. Like offering unlimited storage to someone with no internet connection. Thanks for nothing! The real kicker is how many likes and reposts these announcements get. We're all just digital hamsters running on the hype wheel at this point.

Remember when we used to explain our bugs to rubber ducks? Now we just bark orders at AI models to fix our spaghetti code. The evolution from "here's what I've tried" to "just fix it" perfectly captures our descent into tech laziness. Soon we'll just grunt and expect the AI to read our minds. Progress, I guess? At least the duck never judged our variable naming conventions.

So someone just announced NERD, a programming language where humans don't write code—they just "observe" it. The workflow? Skim the AI-generated code, run tests, and ship. No actual reading required. Because who needs to understand what they're deploying to production, right? The post casually mentions that 40% of their code is now machine-written, and they spent the year reviewing PRs authored by Claude faster than they could type requirements. The punchline? They weren't really reading it. Just vibing with the vibes and hitting merge. NERD supposedly compiles to native and uses 50-70% fewer tokens, which sounds impressive until you realize the entire premise is "let AI write everything and hope for the best." It's like code review speedrunning—any% glitchless, no comprehension required. The real kicker is calling it "the last missing piece in the AI puzzle." Because nothing says "puzzle complete" like removing human understanding from software development entirely. What could possibly go wrong? 🚀

Oh honey, you thought you were getting a REAL AI? *dramatic hair flip* The meme shows the BRUTAL reality of those clickbait "Build Your Own AI" tutorials! First panel: Some flashy article promising AI greatness. Second panel: The SHOCKING reveal that the "AI" is literally just three lines of code importing OpenAI and responding "hi" to everything! It's like ordering a gourmet meal and getting a microwaved hot pocket! The audacity! The deception! This is why we have trust issues in tech!

Documentation: *exists* Developers: *immediately pull out the "I-don't-care-inator"* Let's be honest—reading documentation is like flossing. We all know we should do it, but somehow we'd rather blast it into oblivion and ask ChatGPT to explain that obscure method in five words or less. Ten years of experience has taught me that the time saved skipping docs is always paid back with interest during 3 AM debugging sessions. Yet here we are, finger hovering over the ChatGPT tab, ready to type "how to center a div" for the 500th time.
