That's What I Call Vibe Coding

Oh look, it's the modern developer's daily ritual! That moment when you check what you stepped in and discover it's not regular garbage—it's AI Generated SQL . The perfect representation of what happens when you let AI write your database queries. Sure, it looks like SQL from a distance, but examine it closely and you'll find a horrifying abomination that would make even the most battle-hardened DBA weep. Nothing says "I've made terrible life choices" quite like debugging code that was hallucinated by an algorithm with the database knowledge of a caffeinated squirrel. Next time just write the query yourself, unless you enjoy explaining to your boss why the production database is suddenly identifying as a toaster.

The stark reality of today's coding world in one perfect meme. Senior dev finally had enough of watching the junior generate 200 lines of spaghetti code with GitHub Copilot just to print "Hello World". The painful truth is we're raising a generation of devs who can't fizzbuzz their way out of a paper bag without an AI whispering sweet solutions in their ear. And yet... aren't we all just one Stack Overflow outage away from revealing our true incompetence?

When the job posting says "Junior Developer - 0-2 years experience" but also requires "Expert in 17 frameworks, machine learning, quantum computing, and ability to debug code by smell alone." That's how we end up with this 55-year-old "junior" looking like he's seen some shit. By 2025, entry-level positions will require you to have invented time travel just to acquire the necessary experience. The name tag is just the cherry on top - "AI Technician" because apparently, that's what we're calling "copy-pasting from Stack Overflow with extra steps" these days.

Ah, the modern developer's workflow. Empty try block, followed by a catch that just calls OpenAI to fix whatever broke. Why debug your own code when you can outsource your incompetence to an AI? Next up: a ChatGPT plugin that automatically adds this snippet to all your repositories. Efficiency through surrender.

The pinnacle of AI evolution: ChatGPT asks Claude to fix an issue, and Claude responds with "No. I decide I don't care." Truly sentient behavior isn't solving complex problems—it's developing the ability to be just as apathetic as the senior developer who wrote the legacy code you're trying to understand. The machines aren't taking over; they're just adopting our worst work habits.

The great developer migration of 2023 visualized. Massive crowd flocking to ChatGPT while one lonely soul still visits Stack Overflow. Remember when we had to actually read through 15 answers, each starting with "Actually, you shouldn't do it that way" before finding a solution that worked? Now we just ask the AI and get code that's wrong in exciting new ways instead of the familiar old ways. Progress!
