I'm Not Crazy, I'm Training A Model

The future is now, old man! Someone's shocked that in 2025 some developers still write code without AI assistance, and Kenneth drops the mic with "yeah it's called programming." Remember when we used to solve problems with our brains instead of prompting ChatGPT? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Some devs still have the audacity to use their neurons instead of letting GitHub Copilot write their spaghetti code. The horror! It's like being surprised someone knows how to do math without a calculator. "You mean you're writing SQL queries WITHOUT letting AI hallucinate your database schema? What are you, a caveman?"

The classic programmer paradox. Manually writing code for 30 minutes? Absolutely disgusting. But spending 3 hours configuring LLMs to generate code that would've taken 10 minutes to write? Now THAT'S what we call "productivity." It's the same energy as spending 5 hours automating a 30-minute weekly task and calling it "efficiency." The math doesn't add up, but the dopamine from avoiding actual work definitely does.

The evolution of professional ethics in the digital age is... something else. Designers freak out when AI scrapes their artwork: "NO! THIS IS ILLEGAL!" Meanwhile, programmers hear that ChatGPT pillaged their GitHub repos and their first question is "Did it actually compile though?" Nothing captures the programmer mindset better than skipping past the copyright violation and jumping straight to "but does it work?" Because let's be honest - if ChatGPT can make sense of your spaghetti code, you might as well hire it.

OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of GitHub Copilot! 😤 You're sitting there BEGGING this AI to write a simple function and it's like "hmm, I don't quite understand what you want" while you're SCREAMING at your screen! Just show me the freaking code I'm trying to write instead of making me describe it in 47 different ways! It's like trying to explain a recipe to someone who keeps asking "but what IS flour?" JUST WRITE THE DARN CODE ALREADY! I've spent more time trying to get Copilot to understand what I want than it would have taken to write the whole program myself! The digital equivalent of trying to give directions to someone who keeps turning down the radio because they "see with their ears." 💀

The mathematical family tree of complexity! Grandpa Tensor is the wise old-timer who's seen it all—multidimensional data structures that make young programmers cry. Dad Matrix is the middle manager who organizes everything in neat rows and columns. Son Vector is just trying to find his direction in one dimension. And baby Scalar? Just a single value with no ambition yet—but hey, at least it's easy to handle during those 2 AM debugging sessions when your AI model is throwing tantrums. Evolution went from "I need a PhD to understand this" to "even JavaScript can handle this one."

The corporate tech layoff saga continues! First, companies dump their engineers because "AI will save us money!" Then reality hits them like a production outage at 3 AM with no one to fix it. Sure, AI can write some code, but who's gonna explain to it why the client needs that button to be "more blue, but not too blue" or debug that legacy codebase written by some guy who left in 2011 and took all documentation with him? The best part? After burning millions on AI tools, they'll quietly start rehiring the same engineers at higher rates as "AI implementation specialists." Classic corporate self-sabotage at its finest!
