Holy Edge Case

The circle of life in tech! Designers who can't code are now using AI to generate code, while developers who can't design are using AI to create visuals. It's the ultimate tech symbiosis where both sides are just frantically asking ChatGPT to do the part of the job they've been avoiding for years. Next up: AI using humans to generate more training data. The snake eats its tail!

Behold the great decline of our noble profession. We went from muscle-bound legends who wrote code without AI crutches and built entire games in Assembly (because apparently pain is character-building) to modern keyboard jockeys who can't center a div without consulting Google for the 47th time today. The golden age programmer fixed memory leaks by hand, while we're over here begging ChatGPT to fix our syntax errors like it's our personal code therapist. And let's not forget the programmer trapped in Vim since 2018 because :q! is apparently harder to remember than differential calculus. The final insult? We fix one bug and create three more. It's not a development cycle, it's a pyramid scheme.

Sure, AI can build your app in 5 minutes instead of 5 hours, but have fun debugging that spaghetti junction of code! The left shows a nice, simple railway track—straightforward code built without AI. Clean, predictable, gets you from A to B. The right? That's your AI-generated "masterpiece"—a chaotic mess of intersecting tracks going in seventeen different directions at once. Your app might be built faster, but good luck figuring out which track leads where when everything crashes. It's like asking a hyperactive octopus to organize your closet. Speed isn't everything when you're spending the next month untangling what your AI "helper" thought was a brilliant solution!

SWEET MOTHER OF DISRUPTION! This bingo card is basically every venture capitalist's wet dream turned into a horrifying reality check! 😱 Each square represents the ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE that is modern tech - from "only solves rich people problems" (because who cares about the poors?) to "bug causes death" (just a minor inconvenience for the shareholders). And don't get me started on "everything is a subscription" - my bank account is SCREAMING in monthly payment pain! The center square just being "ADS!" is the chef's kiss of digital dystopia. It's the free space because NOTHING in tech is actually free! They're either harvesting your data or your soul - usually both! Next startup pitch meeting, just bring this card and mark squares as the founder speaks. BINGO will happen faster than you can say "disruptive blockchain AI solution"!

Look at this good boy pretending to be a "programmer" by wearing glasses and sitting in front of chemistry equipment. The modern equivalent of putting on a stethoscope and claiming you're a doctor. Prompt engineering isn't programming, Karen. Asking ChatGPT to build you a website is like asking a golden retriever to perform surgery—sure, they're enthusiastic about helping, but someone else is definitely cleaning up that mess later. The real irony? The dog probably has a better chance of writing functional code than someone whose entire tech stack is "Hey ChatGPT, fix this thing I broke."

Remember the ancient times of 2022 when developers wrote their own code? Now we're all just whispering sweet nothings to ChatGPT and hoping it understands our vague requirements. Coding without AI assistance has become the programming equivalent of churning your own butter or writing with a quill pen. "Did you hear? Sarah actually remembers how to reverse a binary tree WITHOUT asking Claude!" *gasps dramatically* The real flex in 2024 isn't having a Lamborghini—it's being able to debug your own code without an AI sidekick.
