The Chaotic Path From A To B

Content The Self Taught "Serious" Programmer Starter Kit "Just learn assemblv" What the hell is a proof? "bro, you don't need math" Has zero professional experience Lacks basic computer architecture fundamentals despite praising its importance Very active in r/_programming Over emphasizes the importance of code editors and sneers at IDEs made with mematie

The classic "it works on my machine" problem just got upgraded to "it works in my demo"! Nothing says "cutting-edge AI" like a good old time.sleep(6) to simulate processing. The presenter's accidental Ctrl+C revealed the smoke and mirrors behind the curtain - that magical AI was just Python taking a 6-second nap! This is the tech equivalent of finding out the "live" concert was actually lip-synced. Next time they'll probably add print("AI THINKING VERY HARD") for extra realism.

Anthropic drops a billion on Bum (probably some AI startup or acqui-hire), meanwhile someone just casually hits that fork button on GitHub and gets the exact same codebase for the low, low price of absolutely nothing. Open source licensing is basically the ultimate "right-click, save as" for entire companies. The best part? They're both technically legal moves. One guy's burning VC money like it's going out of style, the other's just... using git as intended. That's the beauty and chaos of open source—your billion-dollar acquisition is literally one git clone away from being commoditized.

The future of tech is clear: ChatGPT at the top, actual coding skills below it. By 2025, your ability to craft perfect prompts will apparently outrank your CS degree and cybersecurity expertise. Who needs algorithms when you can just type "write me a secure authentication system with zero vulnerabilities" and call it a day? The hierarchy has spoken—prompt engineering is the new programming. Time to replace your GitHub portfolio with screenshots of your ChatGPT conversations.

Nothing says "we love our users" like dropping a free AI feature that immediately sets fire to your data center. Those poor GPUs, running at 110°C, fans screaming like they're auditioning for a metal band. Meanwhile, DevOps is frantically calculating the electricity bill while the marketing team high-fives over user engagement metrics. The best part? The feature probably could've been implemented with a simple if-statement, but hey—gotta justify those VC millions somehow!

The evolution of dependency management excuses is just *chef's kiss*. First we pretend it's a calculated technical decision. Then we admit we're just lazy. But that final panel? Pure gold. "LLMs don't understand it yet" is the new "works on my machine." Nothing like blaming AI for your technical debt while your package.json looks like a digital archaeological dig site. Meanwhile, your junior dev is quietly running "npm audit fix" in production.
