Don't Rely On Regurgitated Code

Remember when we actually had to memorize algorithms and syntax? Now my brain's shrinking faster than my will to whiteboard during interviews. The top image shows Homer Simpson's brain scan before ChatGPT, all plump and functional. The bottom shows what's left after outsourcing our thinking to AI - just enough neurons to type "write me a function that..." and hit enter. Evolution in reverse, folks - soon we'll just be fingers attached to a coffee mug.

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.

The ultimate double standard! 😂 While designers freak out when DALL-E 2 steals their artwork, programmers are over here like "You stole my GitHub code? Sweet! Did you actually make that garbage run properly?" It's the coding equivalent of saying "I left that mess on purpose as a trap for the next poor soul!" The desperation of "pls fix my garbage code" is the silent plea we've all made when sharing our repos. We're not stealing code, we're just... collaboratively debugging . 👨‍💻✨

Ah yes, the mythical beast of modern development - half dog, half ostrich, all ChatGPT. Your codebase is about to experience the "uncanny valley" indeed. One end barks confidently about solutions it doesn't understand while the other buries its head in the sand when debugging time comes. The "OH REALLY?" at the top is what your senior developer mutters when you claim your AI-generated monstrosity is "original work." Next edition will feature a creature that's half Stack Overflow, half deadline panic.

The dystopian nightmare has arrived! Behold the new job title of our generation: "Prompt Engineer" – that poor soul desperately begging an AI to spit out valid JSON without hallucinating random garbage. Look at those tears! That's the face of someone who spent 6 years getting a Computer Science degree only to end up writing "bro please" and "I'm begging you" in their prompts. Their entire career now hinges on whether ChatGPT wakes up feeling cooperative or chaotic that day. We've gone from writing code to writing prayers to the AI gods! The ultimate career downgrade – from software developer to AI therapist/beggar.
