Soon™: The Tech Industry's Favorite Timeline

Ah, the classic corporate brainstorming session where everyone's looking for shortcuts except the one person suggesting the obvious solution. Low-code, AI, buzzwords galore—but nobody wants to hear "just hire someone who knows what they're doing." That dev getting thrown out the window represents every competent engineer watching their company chase shiny tech instead of proper staffing. The real punchline? Six months later they'll hire three devs anyway, but only after burning through the budget on half-baked AI solutions that generated more bugs than features.

Hahaha! The AI overlord has spoken! 🤖 A binary being holding up a "no HTML tags" sign while literally being made of code is peak irony! It's like your coffee machine telling you caffeine is bad while brewing your fifth espresso. The caption "Coding is Dead, Long Live Programming!" is that classic contradiction we all live with - renaming our job titles every few years while doing the exact same thing. Syntax changes, frustration remains! The binary person is basically all of us pretending we understand what our code is doing while it silently judges our life choices. 💻✨

The modern developer dichotomy in its full glory! Up top we've got the polished, well-groomed developers who just copy-paste from Stack Overflow, Google search results, and ask ChatGPT to fix their bugs. Meanwhile, the documentation readers below look like they've been coding for 72 hours straight, sustained purely by Monster Energy and sheer determination. Reading docs is apparently the programming equivalent of staring into the void until the void stares back. The best part? Those documentation demons probably write better code than the rest of us combined. Choose your fighter: pretty but dependent, or unhinged but powerful.

OH. MY. GOD. The sheer AUDACITY of AI assistants these days! 💅 Here I am, trying to make a simple month list in Excel like a functioning adult, and my spreadsheet now thinks March is "Maruary" and we've got "Junuary" instead of June?! Excel's autocomplete has gone ROGUE while AI is sitting there like "Don't worry your pretty little head about it!" EXCUSE ME?! I didn't spend 4 years getting a computer science degree to have an AI assistant patronize me while my spreadsheet turns the calendar into some bizarre parallel universe where every month ends with "-uary"! The struggle is REAL, people!

ChatGPT has officially completed its transformation into a real software engineer by mastering the ultimate developer defense mechanism: "It works on my machine." The sacred incantation that has shielded programmers from responsibility since the dawn of computing has now been adopted by AI. Next up: blaming the user's configuration, suggesting a system reboot, and proposing we rewrite everything in Rust. The student has truly become the master.
