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

That thousand-yard stare when you've just spent hours debugging someone's ChatGPT-generated WordPress PHP abomination. The code technically "works" but violates every coding standard known to mankind. You've fixed it, but at what cost? Your soul? Your sanity? Both? This is the face of a developer who just discovered 17 nested if statements and a function named "do_the_thing_please_work()" with 300 lines of uncommented spaghetti code. The war flashbacks are real.

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.

Ah, the classic corporate brainstorming session where everyone's looking for shortcuts except the one person suggesting the obvious solution. Low-code, AI, buzzwords galore—but nobody wants to hear "just hire someone who knows what they're doing." That dev getting thrown out the window represents every competent engineer watching their company chase shiny tech instead of proper staffing. The real punchline? Six months later they'll hire three devs anyway, but only after burning through the budget on half-baked AI solutions that generated more bugs than features.

The meme shows the progression of job recursion getting increasingly disturbing. Recruiters hiring recruiters? Normal. Cooks cooking cooks? Slightly concerning. But programmers programming programmers? That's just AI development with extra steps. We're literally coding ourselves out of jobs while smiling maniacally about it. Skynet doesn't need Terminators when it has LinkedIn.

The ultimate job security plan: write code so chaotic that even superintelligent AI takes one look and nopes right out. SpongeBob with his half-lidded eyes and notebook represents every developer who's created such an unholy tangle of spaghetti code that it's basically encrypted by incompetence. The AI apocalypse might be coming for our jobs, but it'll have to decrypt your 3AM variable naming conventions and uncommented hacks first. Your technical debt isn't a liability—it's a defensive moat!

The resume inflation has begun! We've all seen that one colleague who suddenly became an "AI expert" after using ChatGPT twice. Five years from now, we'll be sitting in interviews listening to people explain how they've been "pioneering machine learning solutions" since 2023, when in reality they just figured out how to prompt an LLM without it hallucinating too badly. The true AI skill of our generation? Convincing robots not to write poems when you just want them to fix your regex.
