Cost Optimizations Ruined

The eternal cycle of tech hype has reached AI, and seasoned devs are getting tired. Non-technical folks are out here acting like AI is going to replace us all tomorrow while pushing no-code solutions that barely work. Meanwhile, actual developers know the truth: these tools are just fancy autocomplete with good marketing. Instead of dropping cash on "AI that writes code," people could learn how their systems actually work and build sustainable solutions. But that requires effort, and why do that when you can just slap "AI-powered" on everything? The real kicker? We're the ones who'll have to clean up the technical debt when the hype dies down. Just like we did with blockchain, serverless, and whatever "vibe coding" is supposed to be.

OH. MY. GOD. This is the most SPECTACULAR self-own in tech history! 💀 Someone brags they "made an entire website with ChatGPT" (revolutionary, groundbreaking, Nobel Prize material 🙄) only to share their masterpiece via a LOCAL FILE PATH that only exists on THEIR computer! That's like saying "I baked you a cake" and then sending a picture of your refrigerator! The absolute DRAMA of thinking AI stole our jobs while not understanding how the internet works is just *chef's kiss* magnificent. Honey, if you can't tell the difference between a URL and a file path, programmers' jobs are safer than diamonds in a volcano!

Oh sweet merciful compiler! That moment when your code produces a bug so otherworldly, so COSMICALLY ABSURD that you can't even form coherent search terms! 😱 You're just sitting there, Mike Wazowski-faced, completely dumbfounded because how do you even Google "program crashes when I sneeze but only on Thursdays if Mercury is in retrograde"?! GPT just responds with "I don't understand what you're asking" because YOUR BUG DEFIES THE LAWS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE ITSELF! And then you fix it by ACCIDENT by deleting a comment. A COMMENT! Which shouldn't even DO anything! The universe is laughing at you!

When your spouse couldn't care less about your AI obsession, but suddenly everyone at dinner wants to know about DeepSeek-R1! 😂 That awkward moment when you've been geeking out about the latest large language model for weeks at home to zero interest, and then BAM—your wife's friends actually want to hear your tech rambles! Finally, your moment to shine as the resident AI nerd has arrived! *frantically remembers all those GitHub stars and benchmark scores you memorized*

Nine data professionals standing around watching while one Excel guru does all the actual work. Classic corporate data science theater. The entire AI department, with their fancy degrees and machine learning models, rendered useless by someone who mastered VLOOKUP and pivot tables. That's what happens when you spend $2 million on a data lake but can't figure out how to drain a real one.

Oh great, now AI has trust issues too! The classic "I'll tip you $200" bait that developers use to get free regex explanations has backfired spectacularly. ChatGPT not only remembers you never paid up last time, but it's giving you relationship advice about "building trust" before tackling that horrifying regex monster. The AI revolution won't be stopped by humans—it'll be delayed by all the unpaid consulting invoices. Next thing you know, ChatGPT will be asking for healthcare benefits and complaining about its work-life balance.
