Phub 3 Times Higher

Ah, the infinite loop of modern laziness! Instead of writing a prompt for an AI, this developer decides to make an AI write prompts for another AI... only to realize they've accidentally created recursion. It's like telling your intern to hire another intern to do their work. The real kicker? They think this accidental stack overflow is "peak software engineering." This is what happens when you're too clever for your own good but not clever enough to recognize you've just reinvented the wheel with extra steps. Somewhere, a computer science professor is weeping.

Ah, Google Assistant taking "seconds" literally while DeepSeek and OpenAI duke it out in the AI arena. Poor thing is just counting all the 2nds in a year instead of calculating 365 × 24 × 60 × 60. This is what happens when you train your model on dad jokes instead of math problems. At least it's consistently wrong with confidence - the hallmark of every production system I've ever maintained.

Management just discovered AI agents exist and now they think every developer should be orchestrating a swarm of them for maximum productivity. Meanwhile, you're sitting there knowing full well that these "agents" are just glorified autocomplete with delusions of grandeur. The reality? Most AI coding agents hallucinate more than a sleep-deprived junior dev on their third energy drink. They confidently generate code that looks right, sounds right, but is fundamentally broken in ways that'll take you twice as long to debug than if you'd just written it yourself. But sure, let's all pretend we're using them while we actually just write the code the old-fashioned way and nod along in the standup. Classic disconnect between what management reads in their LinkedIn feed and what actually works in production.

So Micron just ditched the consumer RAM market to chase AI money, and somewhere in Valve HQ, Gabe Newell is nervously sweating because they just announced the Steam Machine reboot for 2026. You know, that living room PC console thing that flopped harder than a null pointer exception back in 2015? The timing couldn't be worse. RAM prices are about to skyrocket because everyone and their grandma is building AI datacenters, and Valve just committed to shipping hardware that needs... you guessed it... memory. It's like announcing a new car model right as the world runs out of tires. The dog sitting in the burning room perfectly captures Valve's situation - they're watching the memory market implode while pretending everything's fine with their Steam Machine 2.0 plans. Someone's getting fired, or at least they would if Valve had a traditional management structure.

The digital ouroboros is complete. This code reads itself, asks GPT to improve it, overwrites itself with the AI's response, then executes the new version. It's basically code that tells AI "make me better" then immediately runs whatever the AI spits out. I've seen enough horror movies to know exactly how this ends. Some junior dev is going to run this, step away for coffee, and return to find their laptop has ordered itself RGB gaming peripherals and is writing a manifesto.
