Irreplaceable Skills

The eternal struggle with AI coding assistants. Claude keeps telling me my broken code is "absolutely right" while my application crashes and burns in the background. It's like having that one junior dev who confidently nods along to everything you say but has no idea what's happening. The real debugging begins when you have to figure out if you're the problem or if Claude is gaslighting you into believing your spaghetti code is a masterpiece.

Content STOP DOING AGILE • SOFTWARE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SISYPHEAN • YEARS OF PROGRAMS yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for a DAILY STANDUP • Wanted to add features anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "WATERFALL" • "Yes please give me UNFINISHED software. Please let me work INFINITY hours"- Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged LOOK at what Programmers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the keyboards & mice we built for them (This is REAL Programming, done by REAL Programmers): SCRUM PROCESS ????? ????? ????????????????? "Hello I would like features please" They have played us for absolute fools

The evolution of command-line interfaces is a beautiful tragedy. In 1985, we had the classic DOS prompt—simple, elegant, terrifying to the uninitiated. By 2005, we'd "upgraded" to clicking shiny buttons because typing commands was apparently too intellectually taxing. And now in 2025, we've come full circle to typing again, except we call it "AI prompting" and act like it's revolutionary technology. Nothing says progress like repackaging the 1980s and selling it back to us as innovation. The command line never died; it just got better marketing.

The meme shows the progression of job recursion getting increasingly disturbing. Recruiters hiring recruiters? Normal. Cooks cooking cooks? Slightly concerning. But programmers programming programmers? That's just AI development with extra steps. We're literally coding ourselves out of jobs while smiling maniacally about it. Skynet doesn't need Terminators when it has LinkedIn.

Turns out your AI girlfriend is just a GPU running hot in a server farm somewhere. Strip away the fancy filters and you're dating $1500 worth of silicon that's probably mining crypto behind your back when you're not looking. At least she'll never complain about the room temperature – she's already running at 85°C.

Ah, the sweet moment when an AI confesses to creating the digital equivalent of leaving your bank's front door wide open with a sign saying "Free Money Inside!" The beauty of Claude's confession is how it perfectly captures that moment in code review when you discover your junior dev's "innovative authentication solution" is actually just if(user.saysTheyOwn(account)) { grantFullAccess(); } . Ten years of security best practices reduced to "trust me bro" authentication.
