Multilayer Perceptron: It Just Says 4

Someone asks for a slang term for human-written code, and the response is "rawbraining" – which is absolutely brilliant. In the era where everyone's obsessed with AI-generated code, we've somehow reached a point where humans writing code is the exception that needs its own special term. It's like how "organic" became a thing when processed food took over, or how "acoustic guitar" only exists because electric guitars showed up. Now we need to specify when code comes from an actual human brain instead of a language model. The term "rawbraining" perfectly captures that unfiltered, unassisted, pure human cognitive struggle of turning caffeine and stackoverflow tabs into working software. The best part? In a few years, saying "I rawbrained this entire feature" might actually become a flex in developer circles. "Yeah, no Copilot, no ChatGPT, just me, my IDE, and crippling self-doubt."

Ah, the classic marketing vs. reality divide. Developers know that what they built is just a simple counter algorithm that goes from 1 to 10, but marketing swoops in and suddenly it's "AI POWERED™" with a trademark symbol because god forbid we call things what they actually are. After 20 years in this industry, I've seen "revolutionary AI" that was just a bunch of if-statements wrapped in a fancy UI. The trademark symbol is the chef's kiss of bullshit – nothing says "we're pretending this is special" quite like a completely unnecessary ™.

The unholy alliance of modern gaming! Your PC is literally SCREAMING as Unreal Engine demands 32GB of RAM just to render a blade of grass, while AI upscaling is busy transforming your graphics card into an actual space heater. Meanwhile, Denuvo is lurking in the shadows like a digital vampire, sucking the life force out of your CPU cycles while whispering "it's for your own protection, darling." The absolute AUDACITY of these three forcing your $3000 gaming rig to run like a potato calculator from 1995. And yet we keep coming back for more punishment like the tech masochists we are! 💀

You spend 45 minutes crafting the perfect prompt, going back and forth with ChatGPT, finally getting somewhere useful, and then—boom. Session expired. Now you get to start fresh and explain your entire life story to a brand new context window that has zero memory of your previous breakthrough. The boar lying dead on a mattress surrounded by literal garbage perfectly captures the emotional state of having to regenerate that momentum. Sure, you could just start a new session, but we all know it'll never hit the same way. The first session had magic . This is just going through the motions.

First panel: Everyone's terrified AI will steal their jobs. Second panel: Suddenly no one has actual production experience. The duality of developers in 2024: Simultaneously convinced AI will replace them while secretly using ChatGPT to figure out how to center a div. The truth hurts because we're all just stack overflow copypasta merchants with impostor syndrome and health insurance.

You know that developer who decided to rewrite the entire authentication system, refactor the database layer, AND redesign the frontend components all in a single PR? Yeah, that's what going "full AI" looks like in code reviews. The classic Tropic Thunder wisdom applies here: when you're coding with AI assistance, there's a fine line between "helpful autocomplete" and "let the AI write 3000 lines of generated code that technically works but nobody can maintain." Sure, Copilot suggested that elegant solution, but did you really need to accept every single suggestion including the one that imports 47 dependencies for a function that adds two numbers? Your reviewers are now staring at a 156-file changeset wondering if they should approve it or call an intervention. Keep some human judgment in there, or your PR will sit in review purgatory longer than Duke Nukem Forever's development cycle.
