I'm "Coding"

Remember that existential dread when ChatGPT dropped? Programmers lined up at the gallows, convinced our jobs were toast. Meanwhile, mathematicians are just sipping coffee like, "Welcome to the club, rookies." They've been watching calculators steal their thunder since the 70s and somehow survived to tell the tale. The career apocalypse is always "just around the corner" until you realize most tools just handle the boring parts while we move on to more interesting problems. History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme.

When your data scientist crush drops the ultimate bombshell: "data matters more than the model." That painful moment when you realize all those weeks perfecting that fancy neural network architecture were pointless because your training data is just a dumpster fire of inconsistencies. The hardest pill to swallow in machine learning isn't some complex math equation—it's accepting that your beautiful, elegant algorithm is worthless without quality data behind it. Garbage in, garbage out... no matter how many GPUs you sacrificed.

The JavaScript ecosystem's greatest fear: finding out some random AI model was trained on their npm packages. The title "I Tsc Alled Dis Ti Lla Tion" is a play on "distillation" - the process where AI models learn from other models - but butchered to include "tsc" (TypeScript compiler) and broken into syllables like someone having a panic attack. Nothing sends a JavaScript developer into hysterics faster than discovering their precious code snippets are now being regurgitated by ChatGPT. Meanwhile, the logos for TypeScript, React, and Node.js perfectly represent the frameworks watching their intellectual property get slurped up by the AI void.

Ah, the classic "server room at 3 AM" look. DeepSeek's AI model just discovered that content filtering is expensive when you're processing 50 million prompts about politically sensitive topics. Nothing says "unexpected AWS bill" quite like a man contemplating his life choices while his GPU instances burn through cash faster than a startup with free lunch perks. The cloud cost optimization meeting is going to be... interesting.

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of modern development! 😭 You start with ONE measly problem that's driving you insane. Then your sleep-deprived brain thinks, "ChatGPT will save me!" But PLOT TWIST! Now you're drowning in a sea of strawberry-themed errors because ChatGPT decided to hallucinate an entire fruit salad of solutions! Is it "strawberry" or "strawbery" or "strawberrrrrry"?! WHO KNOWS ANYMORE?! The AI doesn't! And now instead of fixing one problem, you're questioning your entire career choice while debugging AI-generated code that's about as reliable as a chocolate teapot. The circle of developer suffering is COMPLETE!

Remember when we actually had to memorize algorithms and syntax? Now my brain's shrinking faster than my will to whiteboard during interviews. The top image shows Homer Simpson's brain scan before ChatGPT, all plump and functional. The bottom shows what's left after outsourcing our thinking to AI - just enough neurons to type "write me a function that..." and hit enter. Evolution in reverse, folks - soon we'll just be fingers attached to a coffee mug.
