Have Fun Being On Call

Copilot is that "helpful" AI pair programmer who creates more problems than it solves. It's like having an intern who confidently writes myAwesomeVariableThatDoesStuff when your codebase uses snake_case, adds comments like "// This function does things" and then has the audacity to hold your actual productivity hostage behind a paywall. The smug satisfaction on that farmer's face perfectly captures Copilot's attitude: "Sure, I wrote garbage code that violates every convention in your project, but hey... it ain't much, but it's honest work." Honest work my keyboard! It's digital sabotage with a subscription fee.

The duality of modern coding life. First panel: "OMG, GitHub Copilot is free in VS Code?!" *frantically puts on glasses to see clearly* Second panel: "Wait... my code is free for GitHub Copilot?" *realization sets in* Remember when we used to worry about other devs stealing our code? Now we're feeding the AI overlords our precious algorithms so they can regurgitate them to junior devs who'll get paid more than us. The circle of tech life, folks.

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute IRONY of an AI model explaining why AI can't debug properly is just *chef's kiss* PERFECTION! 💅 We've gone from "let me write that complex algorithm for you" to "I have NO IDEA what your code is supposed to do but I'll suggest 47 random fixes anyway!" It's like watching evolution run in reverse - we started with actual debugging and ended with "vibes-based programming." HELP! The four horsemen of AI debugging apocalypse are truly magnificent: too eager but clueless, context-blind, not smart enough, and my personal favorite - "let me try this hacky workaround that will absolutely destroy your codebase!" Brilliant! 🔥

That moment when ChatGPT confidently gives you code that looks perfect but introduces five new bugs because it's stuck in 2021 while you're using the bleeding edge framework version. Nothing like the special migraine that comes from AI trying to help but actually making your codebase look like it went through a blender. Stack Overflow veterans would've just called you an idiot and linked to the docs, but at least their solution would've worked.

You spend years grinding through CS degrees, bootcamps, and LeetCode problems, dreaming of that stable software dev career with good pay and job security. But then the tech industry hits you with a triple threat: first comes the AI hype making everyone panic about whether their job will exist in 5 years, then the mass layoffs sweep through like Thanos snapping away entire engineering teams, and finally economic uncertainty makes companies freeze hiring and cancel projects. Meanwhile, you're just standing there like that kid watching their dreams get absolutely destroyed by reality. The timing couldn't be worse either - just when AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot start getting good enough to make junior devs sweat, companies decide they need to "optimize costs" and suddenly your carefully planned career path looks more like a game of Russian roulette. The irony? We're the ones who built the AI that's now being used to justify cutting our positions.

The eternal academic turf war continues! Physicists spend decades unraveling the mysteries of the universe, publishing papers nobody reads, and surviving on ramen... only to watch some CS grad who taught a computer to play tic-tac-toe walk away with the Nobel. That sideways glance of existential despair is every physicist who just realized they picked the wrong major. Meanwhile, CS folks are too busy counting their tech stock options to even notice they won.
