One Man Show

Remember when buying a GPU was just an expense and not a second mortgage? In 2009, dropping $500 on a graphics card felt like a splurge. Fast forward to 2025, and you're staring at a $4,799 price tag with the same horrified expression as someone who just found out their entire codebase has no comments. Thanks crypto miners, AI enthusiasts, and whatever unholy alliance of market forces conspired to make rendering pixels cost more than my first car. At this rate, we'll soon be trading organs for ray tracing capabilities.

When your non-tech friend asks what you're doing and you say "I'm coding," but really you're just asking ChatGPT to build the next billion-dollar startup for you. Let's be honest—we've all typed "make me an app like [insert successful company]" at least once when nobody was looking. The modern equivalent of copying homework, except now we call it "leveraging AI tools for rapid prototyping." Who needs years of software engineering when you can just sweet-talk an AI into doing it for you?

Ah yes, the mythical "real programmer" – that elusive creature who apparently codes everything from scratch using nothing but pure brain power and cosmic vibes. Meanwhile, in reality, the rest of us mortals are over here frantically Googling syntax, copying from Stack Overflow, and begging AI to fix our broken code at 3 AM. The gatekeeping is strong with this one! Next thing you'll tell me "real programmers" only code on punchcards while standing barefoot in the snow, uphill both ways.

The circle of life in tech! Designers who can't code are now using AI to generate code, while developers who can't design are using AI to create visuals. It's the ultimate tech symbiosis where both sides are just frantically asking ChatGPT to do the part of the job they've been avoiding for years. Next up: AI using humans to generate more training data. The snake eats its tail!

THE ETERNAL STRUGGLE OF 2024!!! Standing at the crossroads of modern developer existence - do you sacrifice your precious free time to the AI gods, or continue living your blissfully ignorant life?! The left path beckons with ominous red lightning: "Spend 2 hours every day on AI or PERISH from irrelevance!" Meanwhile, the right path with its calming blue glow whispers: "Just keep binging Netflix and gaming like the tech apocalypse isn't happening!" And here we all are, frozen in decision paralysis, wondering if we're throwing away our careers or just avoiding another overhyped tech bubble. The FOMO is REAL, people! That choice has never felt more dramatic than when you're still wearing shorts in the face of potential career extinction! 💀

This is AI having an existential crisis over basic math. First it says 9.9 is larger than 9.11, then flips to claim 9.11 is larger because it's "closer to 9.2" (what?!), then flip-flops again after a simple "Bruh" call-out, only to completely reverse position AGAIN. And programmers are worried this will replace them? The only thing this AI is replacing is my faith in technology. Maybe we should ask it if 2+2=4 and watch it have a complete meltdown. Job security for developers has never looked better!
