The 15,000 Traitors

The circle of life in tech! Designers freaking out when devs use AI to make pretty UIs, while developers glare suspiciously when designers start generating code. It's the digital equivalent of "stay in your lane, bro." After 15 years in the industry, I've seen territorial battles over who gets to use which tools, but this AI turf war is next level. Soon we'll all just be prompt engineers yelling at each other about who wrote the better instruction set.

Nothing says "I understand your job" like a boss who thinks you're just sitting around waiting to review code written by the CEO's latest AI toy. The little robot asking "What is my purpose?" only to learn it's basically a glorified security audit tool for executive vanity projects is peak corporate absurdity. It's that special kind of existential dread when you realize both you and the robot are trapped in the same ridiculous hierarchy - except the robot at least got a straightforward answer about its pointless existence.

The AI hype train has left the station and everything's suddenly a "vibe" now. LLMs? Vibe. Image generators? Vibe. Neural networks? Big vibe energy. Meanwhile, developers are just nodding along in meetings, terrified to admit they have no idea why marketing keeps calling their REST API a "conversational vibe interface." Too late to ask now. Just smile and pretend you've been vibing all along.

Remember that stable software career you were planning? Yeah, that's getting brutally stabbed by a perfect storm of layoffs and economic uncertainty while AI hype watches from the doorway with a sinister grin. Meanwhile, your dreams of becoming the next tech rockstar are standing outside, blissfully unaware they're about to be murdered too. The tech industry's version of a slasher film where your career aspirations are the unsuspecting teenagers. Pro tip: Maybe learn to sharpen knives as a backup skill? At least those can't be automated... yet.

The futile battle against our AI overlords continues! Racing against code completion is the modern developer's version of challenging a calculator to a math duel. Your fingers become a blur of motion, desperately hammering keys at superhuman speed just to prove you haven't been made obsolete yet. Meanwhile, the AI is basically yawning while it suggests exactly what you were going to type anyway. Nothing says "job security" like frantically typing "console.log" before GitHub Copilot can do it for you.

When your sorting algorithm is just "Hey ChatGPT, can you sort this for me?" 🤣 Finally, a sorting algorithm with O(API_call) complexity! Sure, it might take 3 seconds instead of 0.000001, but why implement quicksort when you can outsource your basic CS skills to an AI that probably learned from the Stack Overflow answers you were too lazy to read? Next up: VibeSearch - for when binary search is just too much work.
