Stack Overflow Walked So ChatGPT Could Run

The dystopian nightmare has arrived! Behold the new job title of our generation: "Prompt Engineer" – that poor soul desperately begging an AI to spit out valid JSON without hallucinating random garbage. Look at those tears! That's the face of someone who spent 6 years getting a Computer Science degree only to end up writing "bro please" and "I'm begging you" in their prompts. Their entire career now hinges on whether ChatGPT wakes up feeling cooperative or chaotic that day. We've gone from writing code to writing prayers to the AI gods! The ultimate career downgrade – from software developer to AI therapist/beggar.

That thousand-yard stare when you've just spent hours debugging someone's ChatGPT-generated WordPress PHP abomination. The code technically "works" but violates every coding standard known to mankind. You've fixed it, but at what cost? Your soul? Your sanity? Both? This is the face of a developer who just discovered 17 nested if statements and a function named "do_the_thing_please_work()" with 300 lines of uncommented spaghetti code. The war flashbacks are real.

Future playground insults just got upgraded from "Your mom" jokes to "Your mom codes in VibeCoder" — implying she uses some fictional 2045 programming language that's so outdated or cringe it's basically the equivalent of coding COBOL on punch cards while wearing socks with sandals. The real burn is that by 2045, we'll probably all be begging AI to fix our legacy React code while it silently judges our primitive syntax.

The battle cry of every regex enthusiast who's watched AI models steal their thunder. Remember the good old days when text processing meant crafting the perfect regex pattern that looked like someone headbutted a keyboard? Now we've got billion-parameter models turning words into vectors and pretending they "understand" language. The bottom half showing "real NLP" with incomprehensible mathematical formulas and question marks is just *chef's kiss* - nothing says "human-friendly" like equations that would make even tenured professors reach for the aspirin. And that regex pattern in the middle? That's the ancient incantation developers used to summon the text-processing gods before we decided to burn exaflops of computing power to figure out if "John hates Mary" or if he's just having a bad day.

Future managers surrounded by AI robots, desperately hunting down poor Devin who pushed that production bug? Welcome to the dystopian future where git blame has evolved beyond finding the commit author—it now deploys an army of robots to hunt you down. The irony is palpable. We've created AI sophisticated enough to replace workers, yet management still needs to find a human scapegoat. Some traditions never die, even in 2030. Pro tip: Always commit under your coworker's name when pushing questionable code. Future survival depends on it.

Junior devs getting bullied by the entire programming ecosystem until ChatGPT comes along like "Hey buddy, let me help you with that regex. No question is too stupid, I promise." The real programming revolution wasn't better frameworks or faster computers—it was finally having someone who doesn't make you feel like garbage for not knowing what a monad is.
