From Minutes To Seconds To Disaster

Ah, the Gartner Hype Cycle - tech's emotional rollercoaster! Right now we're all riding that sweet, sweet ChatGPT high at "Peak of Inflated Expectations" where everyone thinks AI will solve everything from debugging your code to fixing your love life. Just wait for that "Trough of Disillusionment" when we realize it still can't figure out why your code works in dev but crashes in production. The real fun begins when some manager inevitably says "Let's use AI to rewrite our entire codebase!" and then blames the junior dev when it hallucinates semicolons in Python.

The tech industry's eternal optimism in a nutshell! Companies burning through billions in pursuit of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) with that "we're just one funding round away" energy. It's like watching someone with $5 in their bank account plan their yacht purchase. For context, AGI is the holy grail of AI - machines with human-level intelligence across all tasks - and apparently, we're juuuust $20 trillion short! That's basically pocket change if you check between your sofa cushions, right?

The duality of AI code reviews. Non-technical folks see a magical solution that writes perfect code while senior devs spot the nested callbacks, security vulnerabilities, and performance nightmares lurking beneath the surface. It's like watching someone admire a beautifully painted house without noticing it's built on quicksand. The hallucinated documentation is just the cherry on top of this algorithmic disaster cake.

That moment when your client says "just sprinkle some AI into our app" like they're asking for extra cheese on a pizza. Meanwhile, you're mentally calculating how many weekends you'll sacrifice to implement a neural network that can barely tell a cat from a toaster. Your fist clenches as they add "shouldn't take more than a day or two, right?" Sure, and I'll also build a quantum computer with paperclips and bubble gum while I'm at it.

Remember when we argued about text editors like they were sports teams? Now we're just watching AI companies slap version numbers on VS Code forks like they're NFTs. "My VS Code fork has more digits than yours" is the new "my dad can beat up your dad." Meanwhile, Emacs users are still configuring their first keystroke from 1976.
