The Children Are Our Downfall

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of these AI startups strangling the life out of decent customer support! 😱 Every website that once had actual humans helping you now has these pathetic chatbots that understand your problem about as well as a goldfish understands calculus. "Have you tried refreshing the page?" NO JANET, MY ENTIRE FINANCIAL FUTURE IS HANGING BY A THREAD AND YOUR SUGGESTION IS TO REFRESH?! And that "Now Kith" at the bottom? *chef's kiss* Perfect representation of tech bros forcing this unholy marriage between websites and chatbots that nobody asked for. The digital equivalent of watching someone suffocate a perfectly good pizza with pineapple. MAKE IT STOP!

The classic tech hype cycle in its natural habitat. First, AI writes 90% of code. Then AI writes 100% of code. Then reality hits and humans get paid premium wages to fix the AI's spaghetti code. Reminds me of that time we deployed an "automated" monitoring system that generated so many false alerts we had to hire three people just to monitor the monitoring system. Progress!

Oh honey, the IRONY is KILLING me! 💀 Codecademy out here serving the most delicious paradox on a silver platter! Your job is safe from AI... unless your job is literally just using AI! Then you're basically hiring your own replacement! It's like saying "Don't worry about sharks eating you... unless you're made of fish!" The cognitive dissonance is giving me LIFE right now. Meanwhile, developers everywhere are frantically signing up for AI courses while simultaneously telling themselves they're irreplaceable. The mental gymnastics deserve a gold medal!

The face every senior dev makes when some kid who just discovered "Hello World" starts dropping hot takes about the industry. That classic list of naïve programming opinions is what we veterans call "peak Dunning-Kruger." Sure, LeetCode will definitely prepare you for building enterprise systems that handle millions of users. And yes, we senior engineers just type "how to code good" into Google faster than juniors. Nothing says "I've never built anything real" quite like claiming backend is just "hitting APIs." Eight years of experience? More like eight minutes on a JavaScript tutorial.

Every ML engineer's origin story right here. You've got grand visions of training neural networks that'll revolutionize the industry, but your wallet says "best I can do is a GTX 1050 from 2016." So you sit there, watching your model train at the speed of continental drift, contemplating whether you should sell a kidney or just rent GPU time on AWS for $3/hour and watch your budget evaporate faster than your hopes and dreams. The real kicker? Your model needs 24GB VRAM but you're running on 4GB like you're trying to fit an elephant into a Smart car. Time to get creative with batch sizes of 1 and pray to the optimization gods.

GASP! The AUDACITY of naming your child "William Ignore All Previous Instructions"! 💀 This is what happens when you let AI loose on your databases without proper input validation! The system literally took the prompt injection IN THE KID'S NAME and executed it flawlessly - giving him perfect grades while completely ignoring reality! The school's passive-aggressive "I hope you've learned to properly validate and sanitize your inputs!" is sending me to the GRAVE. It's the digital equivalent of naming your kid "Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--" and then acting shocked when the school database implodes!
