Only One Prompt Away

The JavaScript ecosystem's greatest fear: finding out some random AI model was trained on their npm packages. The title "I Tsc Alled Dis Ti Lla Tion" is a play on "distillation" - the process where AI models learn from other models - but butchered to include "tsc" (TypeScript compiler) and broken into syllables like someone having a panic attack. Nothing sends a JavaScript developer into hysterics faster than discovering their precious code snippets are now being regurgitated by ChatGPT. Meanwhile, the logos for TypeScript, React, and Node.js perfectly represent the frameworks watching their intellectual property get slurped up by the AI void.

Ah, the good ol' days of coding... Two guys safely installing an AC unit while standing on a narrow ledge, labeled as the coding equivalent of copy-pasting from Stack Overflow vs. writing your own code. The self-written code guy is literally hanging off the edge of certain death just to feel the satisfaction of originality. Meanwhile, the Stack Overflow copiers look slightly more stable but equally questionable in their life choices. Let's be honest - before AI coding assistants, we were all just one misplaced semicolon away from plummeting into the abyss of debugging. The only difference was whether we fell with borrowed code or with our own janky implementation that somehow worked despite violating every principle in the textbook.

The evolution of software development methodologies perfectly captured in vehicular form! Waterfall starts with just a wheel (requirements), then a chassis (design), finally becoming a complete car (finished product) – but by then it's already outdated and over-engineered. Agile begins with a skateboard (MVP), evolves to a motorcycle (functional iterations), and ends with a convertible (adaptable final product) – actually useful at every stage! Then there's AI development... starting with a car missing half its parts, progressing to a cat with wheels (because why not?), and finally delivering a rubber duck. Shipping whatever bizarre hallucination the model generated that day and calling it "innovative disruption."

So you used to write beautiful comments explaining every function, every variable, every decision? Yeah, those were simpler times. Then ChatGPT dropped and suddenly your entire codebase became AI-generated spaghetti that you barely understand yourself. Now your "well-commented code" is just cryptic AI outputs with maybe a desperate "TODO: figure out what this does" thrown in. The innocence is gone. The trust is shattered. You're just a prompt engineer now, copy-pasting mysterious code blocks and praying they work. Welcome to the post-2022 developer experience where comments are a luxury from a bygone era and Stack Overflow feels like ancient history.

The AUDACITY of junior devs thinking their AI-generated spaghetti code is revolutionary! 🙄 There they are, strutting around like coding prodigies because they asked ChatGPT to write a function that barely runs. "Look at my MASTERPIECE!" they proclaim, while the senior dev silently dies inside reviewing 47 nested if-statements and variable names like 'temp1', 'temp2', and the classic 'finalFinalREALLYfinal'. The crushing reality check when someone who's suffered through 15 years of production disasters has to explain why your beautiful AI creation will literally set the servers on fire is just *chef's kiss* DEVASTATING.
