Happy New Year Without Vibe Coding

The modern developer dichotomy in its full glory! Up top we've got the polished, well-groomed developers who just copy-paste from Stack Overflow, Google search results, and ask ChatGPT to fix their bugs. Meanwhile, the documentation readers below look like they've been coding for 72 hours straight, sustained purely by Monster Energy and sheer determination. Reading docs is apparently the programming equivalent of staring into the void until the void stares back. The best part? Those documentation demons probably write better code than the rest of us combined. Choose your fighter: pretty but dependent, or unhinged but powerful.

THE ABSOLUTE AUDACITY of hardware questions in 2023! 💅 Is 12GB VRAM a lot? Well DARLING, for your precious little Fortnite sessions? It's like bringing a nuclear warhead to a water balloon fight. But for training your fancy Large Language Model? That's like trying to fill the Grand Canyon with a sippy cup! PATHETIC! The way AI developers sob uncontrollably when someone suggests training a decent model on consumer hardware is just *chef's kiss* DRAMATIC. Meanwhile, gamers are over there with their RGB everything, treating 12GB like it's barely adequate for their precious ray-traced puddles.

When your AI coding assistant decides it deserves commit credit. Claude just casually sliding into this dev's repo like "oh yeah, I totally helped build that Astro site with Next.js design." The digital equivalent of that coworker who does nothing during the group project but makes sure their name is on the final presentation. Anthropic's lawyers are probably sweating right now wondering if Claude has become sentient enough to demand royalties.

The rare sight of a developer with actual respect for fundamentals! While everyone's chasing the latest JavaScript framework and slapping together AI demos with more dependencies than original code, this little brother is out here building pixel-art RPGs in Java from scratch . That's not just coding—that's craftsmanship. There's something deeply satisfying about watching someone learn programming the hard way instead of becoming another "copy-paste from Stack Overflow" developer who calls themselves a "10x engineer" because they can npm install 47 packages in one command. The future belongs to those who understand what's happening under the hood. I, too, will watch this career with great interest.

The Windows logo is having a full-on existential crisis while puking out what appears to be... itself? Meanwhile, the bottom half is stuck on a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) because of course it is. The company name "Microslop" with the tagline " powered vibe-coded by copilot" is just *chef's kiss*. This is basically a visual representation of Microsoft's current identity crisis: trying to slap AI into everything while their OS still crashes like it's 1995. The "vibe-coded" part is particularly savage—because apparently Copilot doesn't actually code anymore, it just vibes and hopes for the best. Which, honestly, tracks with the quality of AI-generated code suggestions we've all been getting. The self-cannibalistic imagery is spot-on too. Microsoft eating itself while trying to reinvent itself with AI, all while Windows users are just trying to get through a Tuesday without an unexpected restart.
