It's Impossible To Stop

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!

The tech industry's eternal optimism in a nutshell! Companies burning through billions in pursuit of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) with that "we're just one funding round away" energy. It's like watching someone with $5 in their bank account plan their yacht purchase. For context, AGI is the holy grail of AI - machines with human-level intelligence across all tasks - and apparently, we're juuuust $20 trillion short! That's basically pocket change if you check between your sofa cushions, right?

The desperate plea of a prompt engineer trying to wrangle an AI into submission. The modern equivalent of bargaining with a compiler, except this time the error messages are just passive-aggressive hallucinations. That desperate "bro" energy hits different when your entire job depends on whether an AI decides to follow JSON syntax today. Somewhere, a CS professor is weeping while a product manager is asking "but can't we just tell it to stop making mistakes?"

The evolution of developers has taken a tragic turn! Back in the glory days, programmers were depicted as muscular chads who wrote code without AI assistance or Stack Overflow, built entire games in Assembly language (absolute madlads), crafted mission-critical code for Moon landings, and fixed memory leaks by manually tweaking pointers. Fast forward to today, and we've devolved into bizarre creatures who can't center a div without Googling it for the 500th time, beg ChatGPT to fix basic syntax errors, get trapped in Vim like it's some kind of developer prison (":q! anyone?"), and somehow manage to create three new bugs while fixing just one. The brutal reality check hits hard. We went from programming gods to dependency-addicted gremlins who can't function without our precious tools. Progress?

Remember when we used to explain our bugs to rubber ducks? Now we just bark orders at AI models to fix our spaghetti code. The evolution from "here's what I've tried" to "just fix it" perfectly captures our descent into tech laziness. Soon we'll just grunt and expect the AI to read our minds. Progress, I guess? At least the duck never judged our variable naming conventions.
