Never Do Anything

Someone really said "let's use GPT-5.2 to power a calculator" and thought that was a good idea. You know, because apparently basic arithmetic needs a multi-billion parameter language model that was trained on the entire internet. It's like hiring a neurosurgeon to put on a band-aid. The calculator probably responds to "2+2" with a 500-word essay on the philosophical implications of addition before reluctantly spitting out "4". Meanwhile, your $2 Casio from 1987 is sitting there doing the same job in 0.0001 seconds while running on a solar cell the size of a postage stamp. But sure, let's burn through enough GPU cycles to power a small town so we can calculate a tip at dinner. Innovation.

After 15 years of grinding out code, you're faced with two options: compete with the AI overlords who can write a full-stack app while you're still typing "import React," or just give it all up to grow potatoes. The sweaty panic attack is just the realization that both options are equally terrifying. At least the potatoes won't tell you your variable naming convention sucks.

Look at this absolute masterpiece of error handling. When things go wrong, just ask OpenAI to fix it and eval() whatever it returns. Because nothing says "I trust the process" like blindly executing code from an AI in production. The cherry on top? Generating random passwords for users who probably wanted to use their own. Security through confusion - it's the new standard.

The expectation vs. reality of online programming courses hits harder than a production bug on Friday afternoon. Top panel: "What they promise" - a perfect object detection model identifying everything with impressive confidence scores. "Yes, after this course you'll build YOLO models that can detect a mosquito from space!" Bottom panel: "What you actually learn" - a basic linear regression with scattered data points that barely fit the line. "Congratulations, you can now predict housing prices with 60% accuracy and call yourself a 'data scientist' on LinkedIn!" The brutal truth is most courses promise you'll become the next AI genius, but you'll end up struggling to remember which way the x and y axes go. And somehow they'll still charge you $499 for the privilege.

The corporate circle of life in its natural habitat! First, management gets excited about AI boosting productivity so they can slash the dev team. Then their faces drop when devs use the same logic against them. "Oh, we need fewer managers now that we have fewer devs? surprised Pikachu face " The beautiful irony of corporate efficiency cuts coming back to bite the very people who initiated them. Turns out the sword of optimization cuts both ways... who knew? 🙃
