The evolution of developer dependency in record time. We went from "this AI thing is neat" to "I literally cannot function without it" faster than a React framework gets deprecated.
What's wild is how accurate this timeline is. 2023 was all about experimentation—"Hey ChatGPT, write me a regex for email validation" (because let's be real, nobody actually knows regex). Now? We're one API outage away from collective panic. It's like we speedran the entire adoption curve and skipped straight to Stockholm syndrome.
The real question for 2026 isn't whether we can code without it—it's whether we'll even remember how. Stack Overflow is already gathering dust while we ask ChatGPT to explain why our code doesn't work, then ask it to fix the code it just wrote. Circle of life, baby.
