Me In Five Years

Remember when AI engineers actually had to understand math? The top half shows the glory days of hand-crafted algorithms and weeks of debugging custom gradient descent. The bottom half is just us typing "make AI do the thing" into ChatGPT and calling ourselves engineers. We've gone from spending months fine-tuning decision trees to spending minutes fine-tuning our prompts. The muscles have atrophied, but hey, at least we can ship "AI innovation" before lunch now.

The eternal standoff between designers and programmers has entered the AI era. Designers look horrified when programmers use LLMs to generate UIs, while programmers give the same judgmental side-eye when designers use AI to generate code. It's like watching two people who can't swim criticizing each other's diving form. Neither result will compile correctly, but both sides will spend hours explaining why the other's approach is worse.

Ah, the classic "spend 2 minutes and 2 seconds to count to 10" problem. ChatGPT just turned basic geometry into a research dissertation. That's the same energy as developers who write 200 lines of documentation for a function that returns true or false. The best part? It's clearly a heptagon (7 sides), but ChatGPT's counting each "distinct corner" like it's being paid by the vertex. Next up: AI spending 4 minutes explaining why 2+2=5 with "reasoned thinking."

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of modern startups! 😱 Some fancy-pants developer shows up to the venture capital party like "I've revolutionized technology!" only to reveal they've created yet ANOTHER ChatGPT wrapper that solves the most insignificant problem known to mankind. It's the tech equivalent of putting a bow on a potato and calling it innovation! The venture capital world is DROWNING in these "groundbreaking solutions" that are basically just AI with lipstick. The pirate's face says it all - that perfect mix of disappointment and "are you seriously expecting funding for THIS?" I can't even with these people!

Someone needs to tell Elon about the exponential growth of node_modules folders. While AI might be growing fast, any JavaScript developer knows the true speed champion is watching your disk space vanish as soon as you run npm install . That 5MB project somehow needs 500MB of dependencies, and God help you if you're on a slow internet connection. The real technological singularity isn't AI - it's when a single node_modules folder finally consumes all available storage on Earth.
