Phub 3 Times Higher

The AUDACITY of AI to commit such architectural VIOLENCE! 😱 Claude 4 swoops in like some code-refactoring superhero, absolutely DECIMATING this poor developer's codebase with a single call. 3,000+ new lines?! TWELVE new files?! The AI practically performed MAJOR SURGERY on this monolithic spaghetti code! And then the PLOT TWIST that has me SCREAMING: "None of it worked." But the chef's kiss? The absolute DRAMA? "But boy was it beautiful." I'm literally DYING at this peak programmer aesthetic - valuing beautiful, non-functional code over the ugly mess that actually runs. It's the coding equivalent of buying a gorgeous sports car that immediately breaks down in your driveway! 💀

Remember when 8GB VRAM was god-tier? Now it's the bare minimum for running those bloated AI models and rendering engines. $400 for entry-level specs that would've been flagship material a decade ago is the new normal. The hardware inflation is so bad that we're genuinely excited about mediocrity. Next we'll be celebrating when our IDE opens in under a minute.

That score of -17 is the real cherry on top. Someone's worried AI is making Stack Overflow obsolete, but can't even formulate a proper question that meets basic standards. The irony is delicious—complaining about AI ruining the platform while demonstrating exactly why moderation exists in the first place. Maybe instead of fighting the AI revolution, spend five minutes learning how to ask a focused question? Just a thought.

The modern programmer's productivity killer isn't compiling code anymore—it's hitting the ChatGPT rate limit. Nothing quite justifies a coffee break like that "Too many requests" message. The best part? Even your manager can't argue with AI infrastructure limitations. "Sorry boss, I'm not slacking off... I'm just waiting for OpenAI's servers to let me be productive again." The perfect crime.

When you ask an AI to fix your CSS z-index issue and wake up to find your entire website has vanished into the void. Classic sledgehammer approach to fixing a thumbtack problem! The z-index is technically no longer causing issues if there's nothing left to display. Zero elements = zero stacking context conflicts. Task failed successfully! For the uninitiated: z-index controls the stacking order of elements on a webpage (which appears on top of what). Fixing it usually requires a small CSS tweak, not nuclear annihilation of the entire UI.

The corporate data science dream team standing around watching one guy with Excel do all the actual work. Classic case of "we hired seven specialists with fancy titles to stare at a hole while the person who's been using VLOOKUP since 2003 actually solves the problem." This is why your company's $2M data infrastructure still ultimately feeds into someone's spreadsheet that crashes every third Thursday. The Excel guru probably makes half what the AI consultants do, but knows where all the bodies are buried in your database.
