It Will Replace You Not Me

Behold, the modern tech tragedy in three acts: Act I: "I'll let GPT-5 refactor our entire codebase!" Act II: *50+ files changed, 10k+ lines updated, beautiful modular code with best practices* Act III: "None of it works." The perfect illustration of AI's current relationship with coding: makes everything look incredible while secretly plotting your application's demise. That beautiful, clean code is like a gorgeous sports car with no engine—pretty to look at but utterly useless for actually getting anywhere. The punchline "But boy it was beautiful to watch" is the developer equivalent of "The surgery was successful, but the patient died." At least we'll have nicely formatted code to stare at while the production server burns!

The modern tech company hierarchy in one perfect image. Junior dev happily letting AI do the heavy lifting while the senior dev is stuck reviewing 500 lines of algorithmic word vomit. Meanwhile, the project manager is just pointing a gun at everyone's back screaming about deadlines. And there sits the CEO, blissfully unaware in his ivory pew, dreaming about firing the entire dev team because ChatGPT told him it could do their jobs. Ten years of experience just to babysit robot output – exactly what we all went to college for!

Classic Twitter thread where someone who's built absolutely nothing claims AI will replace programmers. First guy says a $200 ChatGPT subscription can replace $145k junior devs. Then a real developer steps in with the reality check: AI needs human supervision to prevent hallucinations and feature creep. When challenged to show what he's built, the AI doomsayer admits he hasn't actually created anything. That thumbs up at the end is just *chef's kiss* - nothing says "I'm qualified to predict the demise of your profession" like having zero experience in said profession.

OMG, venture capitalists are LITERALLY WORSHIPPING autocomplete now! 😱 Silicon Valley VCs seeing predictive text and immediately falling to their knees like they've witnessed the second coming. "Look! It finished my sentence! TAKE MY MILLIONS!" Meanwhile, actual engineers are in the corner having existential crises watching investors throw cash at glorified pattern recognition. The bar for "revolutionary technology" has fallen so low you could trip over it while scrolling through TikTok. And yet here we are, watching the money people treat basic AI features like they've discovered fire. PEAK COMEDY.

Oh, the absolute AUDACITY! 🔥 While junior devs are getting pink slips because "budgets are tight," the CEO is over there casually pushing API keys to public GitHub repos using Claude (an AI assistant)! Nothing says "we're doomed" quite like watching your company secrets get exposed while you update your resume. The security team is probably having seventeen simultaneous heart attacks right now. But hey, at least the CEO is "innovating" with AI while the actual developers who could prevent this catastrophe are looking for jobs! Tech leadership at its FINEST, folks! 💀

The ABSOLUTE PEAK of modern communication: AI writing novels from your bullet points and condensing War and Peace into "book was good." We've evolved from actually communicating to just outsourcing our entire personality! 💅 Now we can all pretend to be intellectual email warriors without reading OR writing anything substantial. The digital equivalent of nodding through a conversation while scrolling Instagram. PEAK EFFICIENCY for the chronically lazy! Soon we'll just have AIs talking to other AIs while we take naps. #blessed
