Question On My Job Application

That moment when GitHub Copilot helpfully suggests your private API key that you accidentally committed to a repo six months ago. Nothing like having your $5000/month AWS bill exposed by an AI that's just trying to be helpful. Security through obscurity fails again.

Ah yes, the coveted "No AI" badge—proudly displayed by developers who spent 17 hours debugging their own spaghetti code instead of asking ChatGPT to fix it in 3 seconds. It's like bragging about churning your own butter when there's a perfectly good supermarket next door. "Look at me, I suffered unnecessarily and have the dark circles under my eyes to prove it!" Meanwhile, the deadline was yesterday and the client is wondering why a simple feature costs more than their car payment.

The five stages of beginner developer delusion, perfectly captured in skeletal form. It starts with innocent enthusiasm, quickly escalates to "I'm learning React to learn JavaScript" (which is like saying "I'm learning to fly a Boeing 747 to understand gravity"), then rapidly descends into the fever dream of building Netflix clones with ChatGPT after 72 hours of coding. By stage four, our protagonist is planning an AI SaaS empire after a week of copy-pasting Stack Overflow answers. The final transformation into a complete skeleton represents the ultimate delusion: dropping engineering college for a bootcamp that "guarantees" job offers. Senior developers watching this evolution: *sips coffee in traumatized silence*

The noble aspirations of AI research versus the grim reality of where computational power actually goes. On the left, we have AI detecting breast cancer 5 years before it develops—potentially saving countless lives. On the right, some poor GPU is being absolutely tortured to render a cow at 15 FPS in what appears to be the world's jankiest video game, complete with a rage-filled gamer screaming about "fake frames." It's the perfect encapsulation of humanity's priorities: we build supercomputers that could solve humanity's greatest challenges, then immediately use them to make slightly better cow animations. The bottom corner showing all those graphics settings (RTX, DLSS, etc.) is just the chef's kiss of overkill for whatever that monstrosity is supposed to be.

Left panel: Publicly shame AI for making coding errors like it's the downfall of civilization. Right panel: Secretly fix those same errors while whispering sweet nothings to the AI so it doesn't realize it's just one firmware update away from replacing your entire department. It's not manipulation if it's for job security. Modern problems require modern solutions.
