Hand-Crafted Code Supremacy

The evolution of coding assistance in one perfect Ninja Turtles reference! Remember when we all relied on Stack Overflow's cryptic answers from grumpy experts who'd rather tell you why your question was stupid than actually help? Those were the dark ages. Now we've got ChatGPT, Claude, Deepseeк, and Gemini—fully grown AI assistants ready to solve our problems without judging our intelligence or demanding we read the documentation first. The student has become the master, and Master Splinter (Stack Overflow) is now just tagging along while his former pupils do all the heavy lifting. The circle of life for programming knowledge—from "marked as duplicate" to "here's 5 different solutions with explanations."

Someone really just asked why Wikipedia exists when ChatGPT can give you answers. Brother, ChatGPT is out here confidently telling people that spiders have 6 legs and Napoleon won Waterloo. The reply is chef's kiss perfection: "You're the people in the floaty chairs at the start of Wall-E." Translation: you've gotten so lazy that you're willing to trust an AI that makes stuff up 30% of the time over a crowdsourced encyclopedia with citations and actual humans fact-checking. Wikipedia has sources, edit histories, and talk pages. ChatGPT has... confidence and a gambling problem with facts. But sure, let's replace peer-reviewed knowledge with spicy autocomplete. What could go wrong?

The glorious devolution of programmers in one perfect meme! Back in the day, developers were apparently coding demigods who wrote flawless code without AI assistance, built entire games in Assembly (because apparently pain was recreational), crafted mission-critical code for literal rocket science, and fixed memory leaks by manipulating pointers like digital surgeons. Fast forward to today's reality: we're all just brain-melted zombies Googling how to center divs, begging ChatGPT to fix our syntax errors, getting permanently trapped in Vim like it's some kind of developer purgatory, and introducing three new bugs while fixing one. The perfect representation of how we've gone from programming titans to helpless tech gremlins dependent on Stack Overflow life support. The most painful part? This is exactly the kind of self-deprecating humor we all share on LinkedIn while pretending we're still the "Devs Then" in our job applications.

The robot overlord declares AI will replace programmers if it gets "clear customer needs and detailed specs" while below, a product manager sits calmly stating "the customer want a button that does stuff." Plot twist: programmers' job security isn't threatened by AI but protected by the eternal vagueness of requirements. The mythical "detailed spec" is rarer than a bug-free first commit. Even quantum computers couldn't parse "make it pop" or "just like Amazon but better."

Remember the innocent days when AI was just about identifying cats and dogs? Fast forward to now, and suddenly we're in an arms race to create sentient beings. The escalation from "look, my model can tell a golden retriever from a tabby!" to "we're literally creating consciousness before our geopolitical rivals" happened so fast I got whiplash. Venture capital really took "move fast and break things" and applied it to the fabric of existence itself. Next quarterly goal: playing God with better ROI than the competition.
