The Age Of AI

Developers spent years mastering their craft, conquering segfaults, memory leaks, and production bugs without breaking a sweat. But then AI code assistants showed up, and suddenly that little green/red diff showing "+61,104 -780" lines becomes absolutely terrifying. Nothing strikes fear into a programmer's heart quite like an AI confidently refactoring your entire codebase in milliseconds. Sure, it removed 780 lines, but at what cost? What eldritch horrors lurk in those 61,104 new lines? Did it just replace your elegant algorithm with 60,000 lines of nested if statements? The real nightmare isn't that AI will replace us—it's that we have to review its pull requests.
