Say "Build Your App In Seconds" One More Time

Content The Self Taught "Serious" Programmer Starter Kit "Just learn assemblv" What the hell is a proof? "bro, you don't need math" Has zero professional experience Lacks basic computer architecture fundamentals despite praising its importance Very active in r/_programming Over emphasizes the importance of code editors and sneers at IDEs made with mematie

Left: "It took me a few minutes to make BibleGPT with custom GPT. Now? 5 seconds with Devin." Right: "Who is doubting thomas" → "Sorry, an error occurred while fetching your answer." Bottom: "It exposed my API key so I had to revoke :(" The AI dev tool pipeline in 2024: Build something in 5 seconds, deploy it in 2 seconds, expose your API keys in 1 second. Progress! This is why we can't have nice things in tech. The faster we build, the faster we leak credentials. The modern developer experience is just speedrunning security vulnerabilities.

The corporate circle of life in its natural habitat! First, management gets excited about AI boosting productivity so they can slash the dev team. Then their faces drop when devs use the same logic against them. "Oh, we need fewer managers now that we have fewer devs? surprised Pikachu face " The beautiful irony of corporate efficiency cuts coming back to bite the very people who initiated them. Turns out the sword of optimization cuts both ways... who knew? 🙃

GitHub Copilot silently judging your spaghetti code while simultaneously ingesting it for "training purposes." The awkward bat face is basically Copilot's internal reaction when it sees your proprietary algorithms and realizes they're worth exactly $0.00 on the black market. Turns out your paranoia about AI stealing company secrets was justified, but for all the wrong reasons.

When you ask Jules AI to help with your configuration and it decides security is for the weak. From port 443 (HTTPS) to 8080 (plain HTTP), SSL disabled, and the cherry on top—replacing your environment variable with a hardcoded "password" literally called "dummy." This is what happens when you let AI write your security config. Next up: storing credit card numbers in a public GitHub repo called "definitely_not_important_stuff."

Ah, the classic "sleeping peacefully until cloud costs jolt you awake" nightmare! This cat sleeps through earthquakes, thunderstorms, and even alien attacks, but shoots wide awake in pure terror when remembering there's a forgotten cloud instance still running somewhere, silently draining your bank account at $0.25/hour. Nothing triggers fight-or-flight response in a developer quite like realizing you spun up that "temporary" GPU instance three weeks ago and forgot to shut it down. That sudden 3am realization is scarier than any horror movie!
