The Entire Vibe Coder Community When Token Rates Have Been Reduced

The modern "full stack" - three AI tabs open in your browser while you pretend to know what you're doing. Remember when being full stack meant actually knowing multiple languages and frameworks? Now it's just knowing which AI to ask for which problem. "Yes, I'm proficient in Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity" should be the new line on resumes. The only stack that matters is the stack of browser tabs helping you fake your way through that ticket your PM swore was "just a small change."

Oh. My. GOD! The ultimate medical chart of our times! 💀 You know someone's having a full-on developer STROKE when they start babbling about "shipping to production 3-4 times faster with AI." Honey, the only thing moving faster is your career toward the unemployment line! That's not AI-powered deployment—that's a DELUSION in progress! The real "twisted mouth" is trying to explain to your boss why everything is on fire after your magical AI-powered push. But sure, keep telling yourself those hallucinations are "efficiency gains" while the rest of us prepare the incident report! 🚑

Finally, someone said it. The gatekeeping energy here is *chef's kiss*. While everyone's out here letting AI autocomplete their entire codebase and calling it "productivity," this dev is out here writing actual code from scratch like it's 2015. No Copilot suggestions, no ChatGPT prompts, no MCP server wizardry—just pure, unfiltered human logic and Stack Overflow tabs. The real flex? "If it doesn't work right, I DON'T PUBLISH it." Revolutionary concept in the era of "ship fast, fix in prod." Quality control? In THIS economy? Respect the hustle, honestly. Though let's be real, we all know this person still has 47 console.logs they forgot to remove before committing.

Behold the UNHOLY ABOMINATION that is modern development! 🧟‍♂️ Up top we have the absolute CIRCUS of ingredients - Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, random GitHub code you found at 3AM, documentation you barely skimmed, and YouTube tutorials made by someone who sounds like they're 12 but somehow knows more than your entire CS degree taught you. And what emerges from this UNGODLY FUSION? That tiny, pathetic rodent labeled "My actual code" - which you somehow stitch together into the bizarre chimera that is your "working code." Then the client shows up, looks at your creation, and has the AUDACITY to ask "What the hell is this?" as if they didn't ask for "Netflix but better" with a budget of $12 and a deadline of yesterday. THE NERVE! 💅

You try so hard to dodge the AI hype train. You stick to your principles. You refuse to add "AI-powered" to every feature. You won't shoehorn ChatGPT into your perfectly functional app. You're building real software, not buzzword bingo. Then Firefox—yes, FIREFOX, the browser that's supposed to be the scrappy underdog fighting for an open web—comes flying in with a haymaker of AI features you never asked for. Sidebar chatbots, AI-generated alt text, the whole nine yards. Even the good guys have fallen. There's no escape. Every company from your local pizza shop to your IDE is cramming AI into places it doesn't belong. The future isn't AI. The future is being beaten into submission by AI whether you like it or not.

The ultimate job security plan revealed! When AI threatens to replace coders by learning from clean, logical code, just switch to the ancient developer technique of writing incomprehensible spaghetti code with zero comments. I've been writing undocumented code for 15 years, but I always thought it was because I was lazy. Turns out I was just future-proofing my career against the robot uprising. Accidental genius!
