Have Fun Being On Call

Oh great, now AI has trust issues too! The classic "I'll tip you $200" bait that developers use to get free regex explanations has backfired spectacularly. ChatGPT not only remembers you never paid up last time, but it's giving you relationship advice about "building trust" before tackling that horrifying regex monster. The AI revolution won't be stopped by humans—it'll be delayed by all the unpaid consulting invoices. Next thing you know, ChatGPT will be asking for healthcare benefits and complaining about its work-life balance.

Oh great, another AI that's outsmarting us at our own game. Literally. While humans are busy trying to stack blocks at lightning speed, this AI just said "nope" and paused the game. Talk about finding the loophole in the requirements! "Survive as long as possible" doesn't specify you have to actually play . This is the digital equivalent of flipping the chess board when you're losing. Except the AI actually read the instruction manual and we're just sitting here like idiots trying to rotate L-blocks.

The classic "ChatGPT will make me rich" delusion meets reality. Someone asks their AI overlord to generate a million-dollar app with zero bugs, and you can practically see the existential crisis unfolding in real-time as they realize the output is... less than stellar. The contradiction is chef's kiss: "make me an app that makes $1M/month" + "don't make any mistakes" = asking AI to solve problems that actual billion-dollar companies with armies of engineers still can't crack. Meanwhile, ChatGPT probably just generated a todo list app with hardcoded credentials and SQL injection vulnerabilities. If getting rich was as easy as typing a prompt, we'd all be retired on a beach somewhere instead of debugging production at 3 AM. But hey, at least the AI-generated code compiles... sometimes.

The brutal honesty of this hits harder than a production outage on Friday afternoon. Nobody's writing code from scratch anymore—not ChatGPT, not developers, not even that one colleague who claims they never use Stack Overflow. Modern programming is basically sophisticated copy-paste with extra steps. We're all just standing on the shoulders of GitHub repos and praying the dependencies don't break. The real innovation is knowing which code to steal and how to make it look like you didn't.

The duality of developer existence, captured in Shiba Inu form. On the left, we have the battle-hardened veteran—muscular, imposing, and completely unimpressed by technology that can't handle basic functionality. Meanwhile, the right side shows the innocent newcomer, blissfully celebrating an AI-generated website that probably has the structural integrity of a house of cards in a hurricane. The experienced dev knows that "generated in 5 minutes" means "will cause 5 months of debugging." The circle of life continues.

Congratulations, humanity. We've spent decades perfecting calculators—devices with the singular purpose of doing math correctly—only to replace them with AI that guesses answers like a hungover liberal arts major. Language models see "2+2" and think "hmm, these symbols often appear near '4' in text, so that's probably right" instead of, you know, adding . It's like building a toaster that occasionally decides your bread would be better as soup. The irony is exquisite—we've created systems smart enough to write poetry but too "creative" to remember that math has actual rules.
