Soap Opera: Legacy Code Gets An AI Makeover

The five stages of beginner developer delusion, perfectly captured in skeletal form. It starts with innocent enthusiasm, quickly escalates to "I'm learning React to learn JavaScript" (which is like saying "I'm learning to fly a Boeing 747 to understand gravity"), then rapidly descends into the fever dream of building Netflix clones with ChatGPT after 72 hours of coding. By stage four, our protagonist is planning an AI SaaS empire after a week of copy-pasting Stack Overflow answers. The final transformation into a complete skeleton represents the ultimate delusion: dropping engineering college for a bootcamp that "guarantees" job offers. Senior developers watching this evolution: *sips coffee in traumatized silence*

The great AI career pivot of 2025! While MBAs panic about ChatGPT stealing their PowerPoint jobs, developers are quietly rebranding themselves as "AI Experts" after watching two YouTube tutorials and adding a few API calls to their resume. Nothing says job security like slapping "AI" in front of your job title and charging triple your hourly rate. The best part? The MBA who demanded "AI integration" in your app can't tell the difference between actual machine learning and an if-statement with extra steps.

Oh. My. God. The AUDACITY of developers asking AI to rename variables while their poor CPUs are SCREAMING in agony! 💀 The left button shows the sacred manual labor of renaming variables ourselves like our ancestors intended. The right button? Asking CoPilot to do it while your computer's processing power is sacrificed to the gods of convenience! And that blue button being pressed? MILLIONS OF WASTED FLOPS! Your computer is literally weeping silicon tears as its precious computing cycles are burned on something you could have done with Find & Replace. The sheer computational DRAMA of it all!

Remember when LinkedIn was for humble-bragging about promotions? Now it's just watching your entire industry get Thanos-snapped in real time. Tech companies went from "We're disrupting the future!" to "We're disrupting your employment status!" faster than a poorly optimized query. The only thing growing faster than AI investments is the number of "open to work" profile badges. The worst part? Those same companies laying off thousands are posting record profits. Nothing says "strategic restructuring" like firing the entire engineering team that built your platform while the CEO buys another yacht.

HONEY, ANOTHER TECH BRO THINKS HIS AI STARTUP IS REVOLUTIONARY! 🙄 The top panel shows some delusional founder with that manic "I just discovered ChatGPT" gleam in his eyes, screaming about disrupting the entire industry. Meanwhile, the actual industry (represented by endless shelves of identical products) is just sitting there like "Sure, Jan." The industry has heard this EXACT same pitch 47,000 times this week alone and is completely unfazed by your "groundbreaking" idea that's basically just GPT with a fancy logo slapped on it. REVOLUTIONARY INDEED! *dramatically faints onto keyboard*
