Soap Opera: Legacy Code Gets An AI Makeover

Congratulations, you've just reinvented rubber duck debugging but with extra steps. Turns out, articulating your problem clearly enough for an AI is the same mental process that makes you realize the solution yourself. The real ChatGPT was the brain cells we activated along the way. The irony is delicious - AI researchers discovering that humans think better when forced to explain things clearly. Next breakthrough: water is wet.

That first hit of AI-generated code feels like pure magic. "Look at all this productivity!" Then reality sets in. What AI gives you in quantity, you pay back with interest in quality control. Sure, it wrote 10,000 lines in minutes, but now you're the poor soul who has to untangle that algorithmic spaghetti, patch the security holes big enough to drive a truck through, and explain to management why the project timeline just went from "done" to "we're just getting started." The hidden tax of instant code is always paid in developer tears.

OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of GitHub Copilot! 😤 You're sitting there BEGGING this AI to write a simple function and it's like "hmm, I don't quite understand what you want" while you're SCREAMING at your screen! Just show me the freaking code I'm trying to write instead of making me describe it in 47 different ways! It's like trying to explain a recipe to someone who keeps asking "but what IS flour?" JUST WRITE THE DARN CODE ALREADY! I've spent more time trying to get Copilot to understand what I want than it would have taken to write the whole program myself! The digital equivalent of trying to give directions to someone who keeps turning down the radio because they "see with their ears." 💀

Ah, the infinite loop of modern laziness! Instead of writing a prompt for an AI, this developer decides to make an AI write prompts for another AI... only to realize they've accidentally created recursion. It's like telling your intern to hire another intern to do their work. The real kicker? They think this accidental stack overflow is "peak software engineering." This is what happens when you're too clever for your own good but not clever enough to recognize you've just reinvented the wheel with extra steps. Somewhere, a computer science professor is weeping.
