Full Stack Development In 2024

The classic programmer paradox. Manually writing code for 30 minutes? Absolutely disgusting. But spending 3 hours configuring LLMs to generate code that would've taken 10 minutes to write? Now THAT'S what we call "productivity." It's the same energy as spending 5 hours automating a 30-minute weekly task and calling it "efficiency." The math doesn't add up, but the dopamine from avoiding actual work definitely does.

Content Your first podcast will be awful Your first video will be awful Your first article will be awful Your first art will be awful Your first photo will be awful Your first game will be awful But your first code will be perfect. Zero bugs and a very clean code. It will be "Hello World" Me: ››> Print ("Hellow World!") Traceback (most recent call last): File " ", line 1, in Print ("Hellow World!") NameError: name 'Print' is not defined >›>

Nothing says "I understand your job" like a boss who thinks you're just sitting around waiting to review code written by the CEO's latest AI toy. The little robot asking "What is my purpose?" only to learn it's basically a glorified security audit tool for executive vanity projects is peak corporate absurdity. It's that special kind of existential dread when you realize both you and the robot are trapped in the same ridiculous hierarchy - except the robot at least got a straightforward answer about its pointless existence.

Nothing says "I'm a web developer" quite like sending someone a local file path at 6:16 AM. The sweet irony of claiming ChatGPT built you a "website" when all you've got is an HTML file sitting in your Downloads folder. Bonus points for the dramatic "your job is done for" declaration. Sure buddy, the entire web development industry is trembling at your revolutionary C:\Users\ben\Downloads\index.html that probably has all the functionality of a digital paperweight. Next time maybe learn what "hosting" means before declaring the robot apocalypse.

Ah, the classic "let's use a sledgehammer to kill a fly" approach. Every tech startup these days thinks they need machine learning to solve problems that could be handled with an if-statement and a cup of coffee. After 15 years in the industry, I've sat through countless pitch meetings where some bright-eyed founder explains how their revolutionary AI will disrupt the sandwich-ordering process. Meanwhile, their actual problem is that they can't figure out how to store user preferences in a database. The real kicker? When they finally implement their neural network to predict topping preferences, it works worse than random chance. But hey, at least they can put "AI-powered" in their pitch deck!

The unholy fusion of dog and ostrich is the perfect mascot for modern coding—front-end looking majestic while the backend is just winging it. "It gets most of its code from StackOverflow" hits way too close to home for anyone who's ever built a "custom solution" by stitching together 17 different answers from 2014. And that smug little "ChatGPT is a better programmer than you" caption? Pure psychological warfare. The real joke is we're all just three keyboard shortcuts away from being replaced by an AI that learned to code by scraping the same StackOverflow posts we did. The circle of technical debt is complete!
