Lemme Stick To Old Ways

Garbage in, garbage out has never been more relevant. GitHub's Copilot learned from millions of repos, including your spaghetti code with 27 nested if-statements and variables named 'temp1', 'temp2', and 'finalForRealThisTime'. Now AI is suggesting the same atrocities back to you. It's karma in digital form - the technical debt you've been accumulating for years is finally sending you an invoice.

The classic "it works on my machine" problem just got upgraded to "it works in my demo"! Nothing says "cutting-edge AI" like a good old time.sleep(6) to simulate processing. The presenter's accidental Ctrl+C revealed the smoke and mirrors behind the curtain - that magical AI was just Python taking a 6-second nap! This is the tech equivalent of finding out the "live" concert was actually lip-synced. Next time they'll probably add print("AI THINKING VERY HARD") for extra realism.

The tech industry's version of David vs. Goliath just got real. On one side, we've got trillion-dollar titans like Google, NVIDIA, OpenAI, and Meta throwing endless resources at the GPU and AI arms race. On the other? Just DeepSeek and their single open-source repo taking them all on. It's that classic moment when some scrappy engineer in their pajamas pushes code that makes corporate execs choke on their $12 lattes. Ten years of VC funding and board meetings outperformed by someone who probably debugs with print statements. The beautiful chaos of open source – where sometimes the simplest solution from the smallest player completely disrupts the market that giants spent billions trying to corner. Welcome to tech, where your market cap means nothing when someone's weekend project goes viral.

Ah, Google Assistant taking "seconds" literally while DeepSeek and OpenAI duke it out in the AI arena. Poor thing is just counting all the 2nds in a year instead of calculating 365 × 24 × 60 × 60. This is what happens when you train your model on dad jokes instead of math problems. At least it's consistently wrong with confidence - the hallmark of every production system I've ever maintained.

Oh. My. God. The AUDACITY of this comparison! 💀 Left side: One single, straight, boring track that takes FIVE HOURS of your precious life to build an app the old-fashioned way. Just you, your coffee, and your tears. Straight to destination despair. Right side: A CHAOTIC MASTERPIECE of tracks going in sixty different directions that somehow delivers your app in FIVE MINUTES with AI agents. Sure, you have absolutely no idea where those tracks lead, what data they're collecting, or if your app will suddenly decide to become sentient and overthrow humanity. But hey! It's 60x faster! Who needs control when you can have SPEED? Just don't ask what's happening in those mysterious junction boxes. The complexity is the feature, darling! 💅

The asylum of programming sins is now accepting new patients! Left to right, we have the poor soul who thought regex was a sensible XML parsing solution (narrator: it wasn't), the delusional dev who reinvented the wheel with a custom date/time library (because clearly, humanity hasn't solved that problem in the last 50 years), and finally—the pièce de résistance—the screaming maniac who blindly copy-pasted AI-generated "fixes" straight into production. The padded walls of this code asylum are the only things keeping these developers from harming themselves or others with more terrible technical decisions.
