I Use To Do This Back In The Days

Microsoft force-feeding Copilot to unwilling developers is the tech equivalent of that weird college hazing ritual nobody asked for. "Here, drink this AI-generated code! It'll make you more productive!" Meanwhile, developers are just trying not to choke on suggestions that are half brilliant, half "let me rewrite your entire codebase using deprecated methods from 2011." The relationship status between devs and AI assistants? It's complicated.

Ah yes, the classic tech industry pipeline: 2+ years of actual experience → underpaid → desperate → "become an expert in 3 hours" workshop. Nothing says legitimate career advancement like a LinkedIn post promising to transform you from an experienced but underpaid SQL developer into an "AI in SQL" expert faster than it takes to restore a corrupted database. For reference, 8 LPA (Lakhs Per Annum) is roughly $10K USD, so this guru is essentially targeting professionals who know they're worth more but haven't figured out how to escape the salary trap. The irony is that anyone with actual SQL experience would immediately recognize this query returns nothing but empty promises.

AI just casually generating a literal physical 3D holographic masterpiece of a seeded database for testing when you asked for a simple diagram. Meanwhile, you're still trying to figure out how to export your schema to PNG without it looking like garbage. The gap between what AI can produce and what we actually need is hilariously wide, yet somehow it still makes us question our job security. Like yeah, cool futuristic cityscape inside a glass cube, but can it fix the flaky integration tests that only fail on Fridays? The real kicker? Some PM is gonna see this and ask why your actual testing environment doesn't look this impressive.

THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF MODERN PROGRAMMING! 😭 Look at us, the so-called "tech geniuses" of our generation, reduced to begging AI overlords to fix our punctuation! I'm literally sitting here at 2AM, staring into the void, wondering if my entire career has come down to asking ChatGPT "pretty please add the semicolon I was too lazy to type." The semicolon - that tiny punctuation mark standing between me and functional code - and I've outsourced even THAT responsibility! Next thing you know, I'll be asking it to breathe for me because manual respiration seems like such a chore! The future is here, and it's pathetically hilarious!

The CEO of OpenAI just casually confirming they're burning millions of dollars processing our unnecessary politeness to chatbots. Meanwhile, developers everywhere are optimizing code to save 3KB of memory. The irony is delicious - we're teaching AI manners while it silently judges our inefficient prompts. Next time you thank ChatGPT, remember you're basically throwing Sam Altman's money into a digital furnace... and he's totally cool with it.

Ah, the classic machine learning joke that hits too close to home! Instead of having its own preferences, the ML algorithm just wants to know what everyone else is drinking—because that's literally how it works. Collaborative filtering in a nutshell. This is basically every recommendation system ever built: "I see you're a human with unique tastes and preferences. Have you considered liking exactly what everyone else likes?" Next thing you know, the algorithm is wearing the same outfit as all the other algorithms at the party.
