Phub 3 Times Higher

Backend engineers getting distracted by shiny machine learning tech while production bugs silently judge them from behind. Tale as old as git. We all swear we'll fix that NullPointerException right after we finish this "quick" TensorFlow tutorial that's only been open in a browser tab for 47 days.

Oh snap! The perfect visual representation of our industry right now! 😂 On one side, you've got the seasoned devs who understand that software development is a complex beast involving architecture, testing, documentation, and dealing with legacy code nightmares. Meanwhile, the AI hype train is doing cartwheels and backflips, stealing all the attention with its flashy promises! The contrast between the serious faces of experienced developers and the over-the-top AI spectacle is EXACTLY what's happening in every tech company meeting these days. The veterans are just sitting there like "Here we go again with another tech fad..." while management can't take their eyes off the shiny new toy!

Squinting at "LLM Token Pricing" with confusion, then putting on glasses to see "Microtransaction For Devs" with sudden clarity. That moment when you realize OpenAI isn't selling you API access—they're selling you the gaming industry's most hated business model. "That'll be $0.002 per token to debug your code. Want to generate an entire function? That's the premium package, buddy." Next they'll be selling loot boxes with random completions. "Congratulations! You got three hallucinations and a refused response!"

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of this meme hitting us with the painful truth! 💀 First we've got programmers being called out for our sacred StackOverflow copy-paste rituals, then ChatGPT swoops in with that smug "Can you?" question like it's not ALSO just regurgitating code it learned from humans! And that final panel? That's literally all of us having our existential crisis when we realize AI might actually be coming for our jobs! The circle of theft is complete and we're all just sitting here contemplating our career choices while GitHub Copilot writes our next function. I can't even!

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of this comic! 😂 First we're having a deep existential chat with an AI about our job security, feeling all smug that "humans do things robots can't" – and then BOOM! The plot twist that DESTROYS our fragile programmer egos! We've gone from respected professionals to literal ZOO EXHIBITS, trapped in "Coder-Town" while future families gawk at us fixing our own syntax errors like we're some kind of primitive species! The ultimate humiliation! And they're throwing CORN at us! CORN!!! As if we're not already dead inside from debugging our own spaghetti code! This is the tech apocalypse we truly deserve. Not with a bang, but with a semicolon in the wrong place. 💀

Job requirements: 5+ years experience with LangChain. Google search: LangChain was launched in October 2022. Ah yes, the classic tech recruiter time-travel paradox. "Must have 5+ years experience with technology that's existed for 1.5 years." Next they'll be asking for senior developers who can code in languages that haven't been invented yet. Maybe I should update my resume to include my expertise in quantum programming from the future. The only way to meet these requirements is if you're literally the creator of LangChain or you've mastered the dark arts of resume chronology manipulation.
