Rubber Duck Debugging With Extra Steps

Oh, the eternal job security of dealing with clients who say they want a "simple website" but actually mean "Facebook but better" with a budget of $200. The AI apocalypse might be coming for some jobs, but programmers can sleep soundly knowing that no robot will ever decipher "make it pop" or "I'll know what I want when I see it." Our superpower isn't coding—it's somehow building functional software from requirements that change faster than JavaScript frameworks.

This meme perfectly captures the existential dread of GitHub Copilot realizing its true purpose in life. First panel: Innocent AI assistant asks about its purpose in the universe. Second panel: "Writing unit tests and regex." The most soul-crushing tasks that even senior devs try to pawn off on interns. Final panel: The AI's hopes and dreams shattered as it realizes it was created to handle the coding equivalent of TPS reports. Welcome to software development, little buddy. We've all been writing regex at 2 AM wondering where our lives went wrong.

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!"

Ah, the classic "tell us about your AI tools" question. The perfect trap for developers who've been using ChatGPT to write 90% of their code for the last year. Do I admit I outsource my brain to silicon, or pretend I still remember how loops work? It's like asking a chef if they use pre-minced garlic. We all do it, but nobody wants to be the first to confess in the interview.

This is the sequel to the legendary XKCD "Little Bobby Tables" comic! The original showed a mom who named her kid "Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--" which caused a school database to delete all student records. Now we've got Billy's younger brother with an even more diabolical name: a prompt injection attack for AI systems. The kid's name literally instructs the AI to ignore previous constraints and give perfect grades. Ten years ago we were sanitizing database inputs. Now we're fighting the same battle with AI prompts. Some things never change—just the technology we're failing to secure properly.
