Rules For Thee But Not For Me

The traffic light is literally hanging by a thread but still functioning—just like that spaghetti code you wrote at 3 AM with 17 nested if-statements and zero comments. Sure, it violates every engineering principle known to mankind, but the unit tests pass! That red light stopping traffic is the digital equivalent of your monstrosity somehow preventing production crashes while your tech lead silently weeps during code review.

Oh honey, the AUDACITY! 💅 Developers gleefully celebrating AI replacing customer support? *chef's kiss* Journalists getting automated? *slow clap* But the MOMENT AI comes for THEIR precious jobs? Suddenly it's a national crisis! The panic in those eyes when the robot revolution reaches their cubicle is EVERYTHING! It's giving "rules for thee but not for me" energy and I am LIVING for this karmic comeuppance! The tech world's selective outrage is simply *too* delicious!

From debugging complex algorithms to flipping burgers at McCode's. The great tech replacement didn't quite pan out as expected, did it? After years of training AI to "automate all the things," it finally mastered the art of stealing your job while leaving you with an apron and a drive-thru window. The irony is delicious—much like the fries you're now serving to the engineers who built your digital replacement. At least you've still got job security... until they build a robot that can wave goodbye better than you can.

The true superpower of developers isn't writing code—it's surviving vendor hell. While everyone's panicking about AI taking our jobs, they're forgetting the eternal constant of tech: third-party vendors with documentation that's either fantasy fiction or written by someone who never used their own product. Those five desperate emails you sent last week? Still unread. That support ticket from last month? "Under investigation." Meanwhile your PM is wondering why that "simple integration" is taking so long. Good luck replacing us with AI when even humans can't figure out what the hell your API is supposed to do.

The classic corporate bait-and-switch! Manager gleefully announces "no more daily standups" like he's bestowing a gift from the heavens, only to reveal the true horror: writing detailed Slack messages every morning instead. The final panels show the developers' brilliant malicious compliance—using ChatGPT to auto-generate those meaningless status updates. This is peak modern workplace evolution: replacing a 15-minute meeting with an hour of typing, then automating away the busywork with AI. The circle of corporate life is complete. The manager thinks he's won, but the devs are playing 4D chess while he's still figuring out how to open Excel.

Forget complex algorithms! This Python developer decided to outsource the "is odd number" check to ChatGPT. Just casually burning through API credits to determine if a number has a remainder when divided by 2. The function makes a full API call, parses the response, and checks if the answer contains "yes" - all to replace a simple return number % 2 != 0 . Peak computational efficiency! 💸
