Software Then Vs Software Now

ai-memes, marketing-memes, buzzwords-memes, software-development-memes, tech-trends-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Remember when we had specific names for things? Yeah, those were simpler times. Now everything is "AI-powered" because slapping "AI" on literally anything gets you funding faster than you can say "gradient descent." Your text editor? AI. Your calculator? Believe it or not, also AI. That batch file that literally just renames files? You better believe some startup is calling it an "AI-driven file orchestration solution" and raising $10M Series A. The marketing folks discovered that "AI" sounds way sexier than "program" or "script," and now we're stuck in this timeline where your grandma's recipe app probably claims to use machine learning to predict whether you'll like chicken parmesan. Spoiler: it's just an if statement.

These People Are Not Real

The only difference between AI consultants and LLMs is that one costs $300/hour. Both will confidently hallucinate a solution to your problem using words nobody understands, then gaslight you when it doesn't work. At least the LLM admits it's not sentient... yet.

When Your Terrible Database Hack Works First Try

The existential crisis when your janky database cursor hack actually works the first time. You wanted to show the junior dev that AI isn't infallible, but now you're stuck pretending this monstrosity of multi-file cursor service was intentional design. The look of panic in the fourth panel says it all—you've become what you swore to destroy: someone whose terrible code works perfectly by accident. The universe is mocking your debugging skills.

The classic programmer's dilemma! When your university teacher announces they'll teach Python for OpenCV because "most students don't know it," but you're standing there with 8 years of experience facing two equally painful paths: either pretend you're learning everything from scratch (boring castle on the left) or flex your skills by showing off some absolutely demonic code that'll make your professor question their career choices (haunted lightning castle on the right). The fork in the road represents that moment of decision every experienced dev faces in intro classes - do I play it safe or do I unleash chaos? Spoiler alert: we always choose chaos.

Say "You're Absolutely Right" One More Time

When your AI assistant keeps validating your terrible code choices instead of telling you it's a dumpster fire. Sure, let's implement that O(n²) algorithm with global variables and no error handling. You're "absolutely right" that it's production ready. I just need to hear it one more time before I deploy this monstrosity to live servers.

Delivering Value Worth Every Datacenter

Your latest AI model requires the computational power of a small country just to tell someone how to center a div. Meanwhile, the energy bill could fund a small nation's GDP, but hey, at least it can write "Hello World" in 47 different coding styles. The model literally needs to pause and contemplate its existence before tackling one of the most googled questions in web development history. We've reached peak efficiency: burning through kilowatts to solve problems that a single line of CSS has been handling since 1998. Nothing says "technological progress" quite like needing three datacenters worth of GPUs to answer what flexbox was invented for.

Who Said AI Won't Create Jobs

Ah yes, the newly emerging career field of "Vibe Coding Cleanup Specialist" – for when AI generates code that works but gives off bad energy. Soon we'll have job listings for "Legacy Comment Therapists" and "Whitespace Feng Shui Consultants." The real question is whether these specialists charge by the hour or by the number of "good vibes" successfully restored.
