A beautiful cycle of suffering that explains why your senior dev looks dead inside. We went from hardcore C programmers who manually managed memory and segfaulted their way to glory, to Python devs who just wanted things to work, to AI that writes code while we sip coffee, to junior devs who can't debug their way out of a paper bag because ChatGPT did all the thinking for them.

The real kicker? We're now back to creating "strong engineers" through bad times, which means the industry is about to lay off half of us, force the survivors to learn Rust, and the cycle starts again. The username "git_blame_ai" is chef's kiss irony here—we literally created the tools that might make us obsolete, then complain when juniors can't code without them.

History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme. And apparently, it rhymes in increasingly high-level languages until we forget how computers actually work.
