I Am Full Stack Developer

The evolution of developer workflow in the AI era has officially reached its final form. No longer satisfied with merely coding or debugging, we've graduated to the elite practice of begging our AI overlords to fix our catastrophic mistakes. That desperate "please undo everything I just did" message to Codebase while the AI silently judges your life choices is the true modern development experience. Remember when we thought Stack Overflow copy-paste was the peak of programming? Those were simpler times.

Squinting at "LLM Token Pricing" with confusion, then putting on glasses to see "Microtransaction For Devs" with sudden clarity. That moment when you realize OpenAI isn't selling you API access—they're selling you the gaming industry's most hated business model. "That'll be $0.002 per token to debug your code. Want to generate an entire function? That's the premium package, buddy." Next they'll be selling loot boxes with random completions. "Congratulations! You got three hallucinations and a refused response!"

Corporate: "Can you spot the difference between a gold bar and a high-end GPU?" Developers in 2024: "They're the same picture." With GPUs costing as much as precious metals these days, training that fancy ML model might require a second mortgage. Remember when we just worried about RAM prices? Those were simpler times.

The evolution of developer excuses is a beautiful thing to witness. In 2000, power outages were the go-to alibi. By 2012, we blamed flaky internet connections. But 2024? We've reached peak dependency – "Sorry boss, ChatGPT is down so my coding abilities have mysteriously vanished." Let's be honest, how many of us have secretly copy-pasted AI-generated code directly into production? The uncomfortable truth is that modern development sometimes feels like being a professional prompt engineer with Stack Overflow as backup. And the title? "Nah We Have Google Bard" just confirms we always have a backup AI to blame our productivity on!

JetBrains turning down the boring responsible work of fixing bugs and adding features in favor of shoving AI into everything is peak 2023 software development. The industry's collective hallucination that AI will magically solve problems we can't even articulate properly is hilarious. Meanwhile, users just want their damn IDE to stop crashing during compile time. But hey, now it can auto-complete with the confidence of a junior dev who skimmed Stack Overflow for 5 minutes!

Ah, the beautiful delusion of being in the elite 30% that AI can't replace. The awkward side-eye monkey meme perfectly captures that moment of existential dread when you realize your code is actually 17 nested if-statements and three Stack Overflow copies. Let's be honest—we all immediately did that mental calculation: "Surely I'm in the top tier of programmers!" Meanwhile, our Git commit history is just variations of "fixed bug" and "please work this time." Fun fact: The real top 30% are too busy writing documentation to even see this meme.
