Hiring

We've all been there. You don't trust a single AI anymore, so you've basically turned coding into a democracy where ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, and DeepSeek all get a vote. Ask the same question to five different AI overlords, paste their responses into separate files, run them all, and pick whichever one doesn't explode. It's like speed dating but for code solutions. The "like a psychopath" part hits different because it's true. You're not debugging anymore—you're conducting a Hunger Games for algorithms. May the best AI-generated code win. The real kicker? This is somehow more efficient than reading documentation.

Nothing says "I value my employment" quite like uploading your entire company's proprietary codebase to an AI chatbot because you couldn't remember if that variable should be called userData or userInfo . Your security team is definitely not having a stroke right now. The best part? The AI probably suggested data anyway. Worth it.

So AI is supposedly replacing all of us and making engineers obsolete, right? The CTO hasn't touched code since the Bush administration, and everyone's convinced that Claude can build entire apps while we sip margaritas. But the second there's a security breach or source code leak? Suddenly it's "human error" and we're all scrambling to find the poor soul who forgot to add .env to .gitignore . The double standard is chef's kiss. When things work: "AI is amazing!" When things break: "Which one of you idiots pushed to production on a Friday?" Can't have it both ways, folks. Either we're obsolete or we're responsible. Pick a lane.

Someone weaponized prompt injection in their LinkedIn bio and now recruiters are addressing them as "My Lord Artur" in Old English like they're recruiting for the Knights of the Round Table instead of a Series B startup. The bio literally instructs anyone reading it to use "hláford" and speak in archaic grammar circa 1000 AD. The recruiter's message is absolutely unhinged—talking about "TopTech Ventures" while dropping phrases like "wið facen and þāra rīca beorges weardunga" (which roughly translates to corporate buzzword soup but make it Beowulf). They're pitching an AI company with a $1B valuation using vocabulary that predates the printing press. This is what happens when AI meets social engineering meets medieval LARPing. The real power move here isn't being a senior developer—it's making recruiters roleplay as your feudal subjects before they even send you a job description. Honestly, respect the hustle. If you're going to get spammed with LinkedIn messages anyway, might as well make them entertaining.

So Michael Burry thinks trade jobs are "AI-proof" and uses Claude to do electrical work around his house. Then he drops the absolute bomb: "I am not so sure." The guy who predicted the 2008 housing crisis is now betting against the "AI won't replace blue-collar jobs" narrative. If an AI chatbot can guide someone through electrical work—a field requiring years of apprenticeship, code knowledge, and the ability to not die from 240V—what's stopping it from replacing actual electricians? The irony is chef's kiss: while using AI to do trade work, he realizes trade work might not be safe from AI. It's like watching someone discover they're standing on the thing they're about to short sell. The "Big Short 2026" format suggests we're heading toward another market collapse, except this time it's the job market getting wrecked by AI. Burry's track record of being catastrophically right about catastrophic things makes this extra unsettling. Time to learn underwater basket weaving—surely AI can't do that... right?
