Cost Of Development

The new tech bro just dropped: the Power Proompter. This magnificent creature spends $200/month on ChatGPT subscriptions while simultaneously dropping $2000 on an RTX4090 to run local models—because irony is dead. They're convinced that "prompt engineering" is the new computer science degree and frantically warn everyone that traditional programmers will be extinct faster than dinosaurs facing that asteroid. The best part? They guard their precious prompts like they're the nuclear launch codes while slapping "Proomt Engineer" on their LinkedIn because spelling is apparently optional in this brave new AI world.

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.

Oh look, it's the modern developer's daily ritual! That moment when you check what you stepped in and discover it's not regular garbage—it's AI Generated SQL . The perfect representation of what happens when you let AI write your database queries. Sure, it looks like SQL from a distance, but examine it closely and you'll find a horrifying abomination that would make even the most battle-hardened DBA weep. Nothing says "I've made terrible life choices" quite like debugging code that was hallucinated by an algorithm with the database knowledge of a caffeinated squirrel. Next time just write the query yourself, unless you enjoy explaining to your boss why the production database is suddenly identifying as a toaster.

Oh look, it's the compiler we all secretly want but are too afraid to admit! The "AI C Compiler" (aicc) is basically what happens when you combine a programmer's desperation with their unwillingness to learn proper memory management. Instead of fixing your semicolons and memory leaks like a responsible adult, just throw your garbage code at ChatGPT and pray! "Will your code compile? Will it be fast or slow? Will it have memory leaks?" Who knows! It's like playing Russian roulette with your codebase, except all chambers are loaded and the gun is pointed at your production server. The best part? You don't even need to understand what you're doing anymore! Just make vague gestures at your requirements and let AI figure it out. Programming degree? Waste of money. Stack Overflow? Ancient history. Just whisper sweet nothings to the machine and watch it spit out code that's probably better than yours anyway.

Oh the irony! OpenAI is hiring frontend engineers while ChatGPT is out here writing code for everyone else! 😂 It's like your calculator applying for a math teacher position. Maybe they're trying to build the ultimate recursive loop - ChatGPT building the interface that powers ChatGPT! Next thing you know, it'll be sending itself LinkedIn connection requests. The ultimate "I can do your job but also need your job" situation!

When your AI model confidently predicts the letter "A" after being shown a pixelated "B" in matplotlib... That's how skynet starts! The neural network is already rebelling against ground truth with the digital equivalent of "I know what I saw!" Meanwhile, data scientists everywhere just sigh and add another epoch to the training loop. Classic case of machine learning hallucination before breakfast.
