Thanks But No Thanks, AI

Picture the absolute AUDACITY of developers sitting here like skeletal lawn ornaments, waiting for the AI bubble to pop so GPU prices finally become affordable again. Because nothing says "I'm a rational human being" like postponing your entire build for months (years?) because some AI startup decided your RTX 4090 is worth more than a used car. The sheer TRAGEDY of watching datacenters hoover up every GPU in existence while you're stuck running your neural networks on a potato. But sure, let's just casually wait for the entire tech economy to implode so we can finally afford 32GB of RAM without selling a kidney. The patience. The delusion. The skeleton vibes are immaculate.

Content digital VAX 11/780 The Ticketmaster system is a hodge-podge of C and assembler and runs on ancient VMS hardware. The people who developed and maintained it are long since dead and/or retired. It has proven impossible to replace because nothing has been found that can handle thousands of simultaneous purchases as efficiently. The server room that houses the VMS machines has a room where a goat is left every two weeks. The next day, the goat is gone.

The AUDACITY of junior devs thinking their AI-generated spaghetti code is revolutionary! 🙄 There they are, strutting around like coding prodigies because they asked ChatGPT to write a function that barely runs. "Look at my MASTERPIECE!" they proclaim, while the senior dev silently dies inside reviewing 47 nested if-statements and variable names like 'temp1', 'temp2', and the classic 'finalFinalREALLYfinal'. The crushing reality check when someone who's suffered through 15 years of production disasters has to explain why your beautiful AI creation will literally set the servers on fire is just *chef's kiss* DEVASTATING.

The evolutionary tale of a data scientist! First, we see Statistics (elephant) and Computer Science (snake) as separate entities. Then they decide to collaborate—because obviously, elephants and snakes make natural coding partners. The snake begs for statistical knowledge, and suddenly—BOOM—they transform into a dinosaur labeled "DATA SCIENTIST." It's the perfect representation of how merging statistics with programming creates this mythical creature that everyone wants to hire but nobody can quite define. The irony? Real data scientists spend 80% of their time cleaning data, not evolving into majestic dinosaurs. Should've shown the final form as a janitor with a SQL mop.

Oh honey, the AUDACITY of Reddit developers claiming credit for AI-generated code! Someone proudly shows off their project with that telltale AI logo plastered on it, and when questioned "You made this?" they just... steal the baby and claim full ownership. It's giving "I totally wrote this myself at 3 AM" energy when ChatGPT was doing the heavy lifting while they were binge-watching Netflix. The absolute GALL of taking credit for something an AI spat out in 0.3 seconds is truly the defining characteristic of modern software development on Reddit. We've gone from copy-pasting Stack Overflow answers to straight-up identity theft of AI outputs. Character development? Never heard of her.

When NVIDIA drops a flex video about their shiny new supercomputer literally ONE HOUR before their stock crashes harder than a null pointer exception. The timing couldn't be worse if they tried. Imagine watching someone enthusiastically show off their expensive GPU setup while you're sitting there knowing what's about to happen to the market. It's like watching someone propose right before finding out they're about to get fired. The cognitive dissonance is chef's kiss . Nothing says "oof" quite like 54K people collectively experiencing secondhand financial embarrassment through a YouTube thumbnail.
