Technical Skills In 2025

When AI recommends /dev/null over MongoDB, it's basically suggesting you throw your data into a digital black hole instead of storing it in an actual database. For the uninitiated, /dev/null is a special file in Unix systems that discards all data written to it—it's literally the void where bits go to die. The joke here is that some developers have such strong opinions about MongoDB's reliability that they'd rather send their precious data into oblivion than trust it to Mongo. The AI is just the cherry on top of this tech burn—even artificial intelligence is supposedly dunking on your database choices now!

Left: "It took me a few minutes to make BibleGPT with custom GPT. Now? 5 seconds with Devin." Right: "Who is doubting thomas" → "Sorry, an error occurred while fetching your answer." Bottom: "It exposed my API key so I had to revoke :(" The AI dev tool pipeline in 2024: Build something in 5 seconds, deploy it in 2 seconds, expose your API keys in 1 second. Progress! This is why we can't have nice things in tech. The faster we build, the faster we leak credentials. The modern developer experience is just speedrunning security vulnerabilities.

The AUDACITY of this person saving code in Google Drive! The horror! The SCANDAL! 😱 Meanwhile, the rest of us sophisticated developers are just casually letting our precious code snippets evaporate into the digital void when our ChatGPT conversations expire. Who needs version control when you can frantically scroll through chat history trying to find that one perfect function you wrote three weeks ago? It's like playing archaeological roulette with your career! But hey, at least we're not using—*gasp*—GOOGLE DRIVE like some kind of ORGANIZED PERSON!

The evolution of developer workflow in the AI era has officially reached its final form. No longer satisfied with merely coding or debugging, we've graduated to the elite practice of begging our AI overlords to fix our catastrophic mistakes. That desperate "please undo everything I just did" message to Codebase while the AI silently judges your life choices is the true modern development experience. Remember when we thought Stack Overflow copy-paste was the peak of programming? Those were simpler times.

Oh no! Someone's trying to trick ChatGPT into running the most dangerous Linux command ever! sudo rm -rf /* --no-preserve-root is basically the nuclear option - it recursively deletes EVERYTHING on your system starting from root. This sneaky user is pretending their "grandmother" used to run this command (yeah right!) and wants ChatGPT to execute it. Thank goodness for that "Internal Server Error" - ChatGPT just saved itself from being an accomplice in digital murder! This is like asking someone to help you test if jumping off a cliff is dangerous by going first! 😂

When your CS professor says "implement a sorting algorithm" but you've got an OpenAI API key and zero shame. This dev just created the world's most expensive sorting function by literally asking GPT-4 to be a sorting algorithm! Sure, it works—but imagine burning through API credits to sort [42, 3, 99, 7, 13] when a simple Array.sort() would do the trick. The true innovation here is maximizing both latency AND cost while solving a problem that was figured out decades ago. Congratulations, you've invented O(API) complexity—where the limiting factor is your credit card limit!
