Killswitch Engineer

So apparently the future of coding is just naming functions like you're writing a novel and letting Copilot/ChatGPT do the heavy lifting. The function name divideMp4IntoNSegmentsOfLengthT() is so descriptive it basically is the documentation, and boom—the AI autocompletes an entire ffmpeg command that would've taken you 30 minutes of Stack Overflow archaeology to piece together. The controversial take here? Maybe we're entering an era where understanding the actual implementation matters less than being good at prompt engineering your function names. It's like pair programming, except your partner is an AI that never takes coffee breaks and doesn't judge your variable naming conventions. The real kicker is that this actually works surprisingly well for glue code and CLI wrangling. Just don't ask the AI to implement a red-black tree from scratch—it'll confidently give you something that compiles but has the time complexity of O(n²) when you sneeze.

Oh. My. GOD. The origin story of computer vision we NEVER asked for! 😱 The meme shows the UNHOLY alliance between serious computer scientists and thirsty boomers that birthed image processing technology. The infamous "Lenna" image (cropped from a 1972 Playboy centerfold) became THE standard test image for compression algorithms for DECADES. Literally using softcore adult content to advance science! The academic world's most scandalous open secret - they could've used ANY image, but nooooo, they chose THAT one. Computer science history at its most tragically hilarious!

Normal people sleep peacefully while programmers lie awake, staring into the void, haunted by that one bug they can't fix, the looming tech layoffs, existential AI career threats, and the crushing obligation to learn yet another JavaScript framework that'll be obsolete before they finish the tutorial. Sleep is just a luxury reserved for those who don't know what a dependency tree is.

The face of pure disappointment. Google's search algorithm used to return actual solutions from GeeksforGeeks, but now it's determined to show you AI-generated Medium articles hiding behind paywalls. It's like trading a working Swiss Army knife for a plastic spoon with "premium features." Next they'll suggest I debug production by asking my horoscope.

Rookie developer shares their groundbreaking "ChatGPT-built website" by sending a localhost URL that only works on their machine. For the uninitiated, localhost:3000 is the address for a web server running on your own computer—it's completely inaccessible to anyone else. Like inviting someone to check out your amazing new house but giving them the coordinates to your imaginary dream home in Narnia. The digital equivalent of "trust me bro, it's revolutionary" followed by showing absolutely nothing.

Ah, the classic "sleeping peacefully until cloud costs jolt you awake" nightmare! This cat sleeps through earthquakes, thunderstorms, and even alien attacks, but shoots wide awake in pure terror when remembering there's a forgotten cloud instance still running somewhere, silently draining your bank account at $0.25/hour. Nothing triggers fight-or-flight response in a developer quite like realizing you spun up that "temporary" GPU instance three weeks ago and forgot to shut it down. That sudden 3am realization is scarier than any horror movie!
