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

While GPT and Claude are having their epic AI showdown with fancy marketing and billion-dollar budgets, kernel developers are just sitting there like a confused cat in the snow wondering what all the fuss is about. They've been quietly building the actual foundations that make computers work for decades without the spotlight. It's like watching two celebrities fight over who has the best makeup while the person who built the entire stage is just... standing there... in the cold... questioning their life choices. 😂

The Grim Reaper of programming trends is making his rounds! First, he slaughtered Visual Programming (drag-and-drop interfaces), then butchered No-Code platforms (the "anyone can code" fantasy), and now he's knocking on "Vibe Coding" – whatever the hell that is. Probably some AI-generated garbage where you just describe your mood and it spits out broken code. Meanwhile, actual programmers are just watching this parade of buzzwords die one by one. The industry keeps trying to "disrupt" us out of jobs, but can't even get past "Hello World" without a stack overflow and three existential crises. Spoiler alert: The next door is "Quantum Emotional Programming" where your code only works if you're feeling particularly anxious on a Tuesday.

The classic Dunning-Kruger effect in its natural habitat. When someone's outside your domain, you nod along with the crowd. But the moment they step into your territory? The emperor's new clothes suddenly look like a Halloween costume from the dollar store. Every dev who's had to sit through a non-technical CEO's "revolutionary" ideas about coding knows this feeling. "Let's rewrite everything in a new language!" Sure, and let's also replace oxygen with cotton candy while we're at it. Trust me, if someone's software takes are garbage, their self-driving cars probably aren't making the best runtime decisions either.

OMG, venture capitalists are LITERALLY WORSHIPPING autocomplete now! 😱 Silicon Valley VCs seeing predictive text and immediately falling to their knees like they've witnessed the second coming. "Look! It finished my sentence! TAKE MY MILLIONS!" Meanwhile, actual engineers are in the corner having existential crises watching investors throw cash at glorified pattern recognition. The bar for "revolutionary technology" has fallen so low you could trip over it while scrolling through TikTok. And yet here we are, watching the money people treat basic AI features like they've discovered fire. PEAK COMEDY.

Ah yes, "vibe coding" - the revolutionary approach where you just stare judgmentally at your computer until it writes its own code out of sheer awkwardness. That skeptical expression perfectly captures the reaction of every engineer who's been told their job is being replaced by the latest buzzword. Next up: "energy programming" where you just burn incense near your laptop and manifest a working app.

Ah, the classic "asking AI to do your actual job" maneuver! This tweet perfectly showcases the modern developer's workflow: 1) Hear about LLMs 2) Immediately try to outsource your data parsing tasks that you're probably paid six figures to handle. The irony is that parsing documents between formats is literally what programming languages have been doing for decades. It's like asking "Is there a car specifically designed for driving?" while sitting in a Ferrari. Pro tip: Yes, there are LLMs for this. They're called "learning regex" and "using libraries that already exist." Revolutionary concept!
