It Will Replace You Not Me

The corporate circle of life in its natural habitat! First, management gets excited about AI boosting productivity so they can slash the dev team. Then their faces drop when devs use the same logic against them. "Oh, we need fewer managers now that we have fewer devs? surprised Pikachu face " The beautiful irony of corporate efficiency cuts coming back to bite the very people who initiated them. Turns out the sword of optimization cuts both ways... who knew? 🙃

Browser vendors these days are in an abusive relationship with their users. One hand choking you with "VC FUNDED INNOVATION" (aka whatever shiny feature will please investors), while the other smacks you with "USELESS AI FEATURE" nobody asked for. Meanwhile, poor Chromium is just sitting there as the foundation that actually makes everything work. The modern browser experience in a nutshell: "Here's your RAM-devouring browser with 57 AI assistants that can't figure out how to load a simple webpage without crashing!"

THE ETERNAL STRUGGLE OF 2024!!! Standing at the crossroads of modern developer existence - do you sacrifice your precious free time to the AI gods, or continue living your blissfully ignorant life?! The left path beckons with ominous red lightning: "Spend 2 hours every day on AI or PERISH from irrelevance!" Meanwhile, the right path with its calming blue glow whispers: "Just keep binging Netflix and gaming like the tech apocalypse isn't happening!" And here we all are, frozen in decision paralysis, wondering if we're throwing away our careers or just avoiding another overhyped tech bubble. The FOMO is REAL, people! That choice has never felt more dramatic than when you're still wearing shorts in the face of potential career extinction! 💀

The most challenging guessing game ever: asking an AI to guess a word you already told it! The user literally asks BlackboxAI to guess a four-letter word, then immediately types "BLACKBOXAI" followed by the answer "BIRD" in the prompt. The AI then cheerfully asks the user to guess, and when they say "is it BIRD?" the AI congratulates them like they've accomplished something incredible. It's like watching someone smugly celebrate winning a race against their own shadow. The ultimate demonstration of AI's contextual blindness—it can't see what's right in front of its digital face!

When every single AI tool bombards you with the same "What do you want to build today?" prompt for the 47th time. Sure, I'll build a blockchain-based social network for cats with AR integration in 0.2 seconds! The rage is real when these no-code platforms promise to turn your napkin sketch into a production-ready app while actual developers are busy fighting dependency hell and merge conflicts. That "build your app in seconds" promise hits different after spending 3 hours configuring webpack.

When your boss says "we need to implement machine learning" but all you really need is a simple if-statement. The eternal struggle of devs everywhere - getting asked to use a sledgehammer when a regular hammer would do just fine. The math behind ML is the unsexy reality nobody wants to talk about at standup.
