Lemme Stick To Old Ways

The tables have turned! After decades of philosophers being told "good luck finding a job," now they're smugly watching the software industry implode with layoffs, AI replacing entry-level devs, and 300 applicants fighting for each position. That "philosophy factory" joke hits different when you're on your fifth technical assessment for a junior role that requires 7 years of experience in a 3-year-old framework. Maybe Socrates had it right all along—true wisdom is knowing you'll never pass the hiring manager's impossible requirements.

Behold, peak technological innovation! Reddit admins fighting the AI menace with... *checks notes*... a string comparison. Next up: solving climate change by searching for the word "hot" and deleting those posts too. The irony of using the most basic Python script imaginable to combat advanced AI is just *chef's kiss*. Somewhere, a CS professor is weeping into their algorithms textbook.

Well, well, well... turns out programmers aren't just spending their nights debugging code! This meme reveals the shocking economics of educational content on different platforms - with Pornhub paying nearly 3x more per million views than YouTube. No wonder so many devs are "researching neural networks" at 2 AM! The real algorithm everyone's trying to crack is how to explain technical concepts while keeping viewers' hands... on their keyboards. Clearly, the path to monetization is understanding your audience's... um... "engagement metrics." 😏

GASP! The sacred campfire tale that sends shivers down the spines of Gen Alpha developers! 😱 A mythical creature who can actually code WITHOUT asking ChatGPT for help?! The horror! The absolute SCANDAL! The juniors sit there, mouths agape, clutching their mechanical keyboards in terror as the senior dev spins this utterly PREPOSTEROUS yarn about ancient coders who used—I can barely type this—DOCUMENTATION and their OWN BRAINS to solve problems! Next thing you know, they'll be claiming these legendary beings didn't need Stack Overflow either! Pure fantasy! Everyone knows real programming is just asking AI to fix your semicolons! 💅

From moon landings to being trapped in Vim—what a downgrade! The 1960s programmer stands tall with actual documentation and the audacity to claim they'll conquer space, while 2025's version is just a doge meme begging for help to escape an editor that's been around since 1991. Modern devs have ChatGPT, StackOverflow, and Spotify, yet still can't figure out how to type ":q!" without a Reddit thread. Progress? I think not. The only thing we're flying to these days is the coffee machine between debugging sessions.

Ah, the classic "tell us about your AI tools" question. The perfect trap for developers who've been using ChatGPT to write 90% of their code for the last year. Do I admit I outsource my brain to silicon, or pretend I still remember how loops work? It's like asking a chef if they use pre-minced garlic. We all do it, but nobody wants to be the first to confess in the interview.
