Really Tired Of AI Hype

Look at us flexing with our fancy Python, JavaScript, and LLM integrations while the entire banking system runs on COBOL written by someone who retired in 1997. The real heroes aren't the bodybuilders showing off their shiny new frameworks—it's the lone programmer carrying decades of legacy code on their shoulders. Nothing says job security quite like being the only person who remembers how to maintain systems that process trillions of dollars daily but can't handle Y2K without duct tape and prayers.

When your AI pair programmer decides your codebase needs an "intervention"... 3,000+ lines of pristine, architecturally sound code that's completely non-functional. It's like hiring a interior designer who replaces your cozy but functional IKEA setup with museum-quality furniture you can't actually sit on. That moment when you realize Claude 4 has simultaneously solved and created all your technical debt in one go. Your git diff is now longer than the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy.

The classic Drake meme perfectly captures the current tech ecosystem's absurdity. Rejecting the noble pursuit of solving actual problems (you know, the things software was originally invented for), while enthusiastically embracing yet another AI chatbot that generates cat poems in Shakespearean English. The pipeline from "I'm going to change the world with code" to "Check out my AI app that predicts what sandwich you are based on your GitHub commits" is alarmingly short. The VC funding paradox in action - actual solutions get ignored while the 47th AI image generator gets a $10M seed round.

The evolution of software development methodologies visualized with perfect accuracy: Waterfall: You meticulously build each component one by one, in strict sequence, until you finally have a car. No going back to fix the wheels once you've moved on to the chassis! Agile: Start with a skateboard, then a scooter, then a bike, then a quad bike, and finally a car. Each iteration is a functional product that gets you from A to B with increasing sophistication. AI: Just throw in a weird green alien car from The Jetsons at the beginning, and somehow it magically transforms into the same car as the other methodologies. Nobody knows how it works internally, but hey, it got there faster!
