Don't Solve Problems, Just Build Something

The classic "it works on my machine" problem just got upgraded to "it works in my demo"! Nothing says "cutting-edge AI" like a good old time.sleep(6) to simulate processing. The presenter's accidental Ctrl+C revealed the smoke and mirrors behind the curtain - that magical AI was just Python taking a 6-second nap! This is the tech equivalent of finding out the "live" concert was actually lip-synced. Next time they'll probably add print("AI THINKING VERY HARD") for extra realism.

The ultimate statistical irony: a bell curve meme about bell curves that perfectly follows... a bell curve. You've got the low-IQ folks who think bell curves are funny because "haha, pretty graph go brrr," the high-IQ intellectuals who appreciate bell curves for the exact same reason, and the middle-of-the-curve galaxy brains screaming "BAN BELL CURVES!!1!" with the intensity of someone who just discovered their entire codebase uses tabs instead of spaces. The distribution of opinions about bell curves literally forms a bell curve, and that's the kind of recursive humor that keeps me going through sprint planning meetings.

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of these ChatGPT-wielding imposters! 💅 They waltz into interviews like "I'm a programmer" with their chest puffed out, but when asked about actual languages they know? *dramatic gasp* They whisper "ChatGPT" and suddenly everyone loses their minds! It's like showing up to a knife fight with a spork and expecting to be taken seriously! The coding community is LITERALLY having a collective aneurysm watching people who couldn't write a for-loop to save their lives claiming developer status because they can prompt an AI. Honey, asking ChatGPT to code for you doesn't make you a programmer any more than asking Siri for directions makes you a cartographer!

Behold the magnificent journey of a "non-technical" founder going from AI-generated hubris to digital humility in just 48 hours! First tweet: "Look at my amazing no-code SaaS built with AI! Stop complaining and start building! P.S. People actually pay for this!" Two days later: "Help! I'm being attacked! My API keys are maxed out, people are bypassing subscriptions, and my database is a dumpster fire! BTW, I'm not technical so... oops?" The classic tale of finding out that building secure software requires more than just dragging and dropping with Cursor. Turns out "zero hand-written code" also means "zero security considerations." Who could have possibly predicted that?

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 gambling industry and AI coding have more in common than your bank account would like to admit. Both involve throwing money at a system with questionable odds of success. Sure, one involves tokens instead of chips, but the dopamine hit when your prompt actually works is suspiciously similar to hitting triple sevens. The real kicker is how we lie to ourselves. "One more prompt and this bug will disappear" is just the programmer's version of "one more spin and I'll win it all back." Meanwhile, the cursor blinks mockingly as you realize you've spent four hours trying to get an AI to write a function that would've taken you 20 minutes to code yourself. Congratulations on your new career as a "prompt engineer." It's just gambling with better LinkedIn optics.
