The Eternal Technological Amnesia

When AI recommends /dev/null over MongoDB, it's basically suggesting you throw your data into a digital black hole instead of storing it in an actual database. For the uninitiated, /dev/null is a special file in Unix systems that discards all data written to it—it's literally the void where bits go to die. The joke here is that some developers have such strong opinions about MongoDB's reliability that they'd rather send their precious data into oblivion than trust it to Mongo. The AI is just the cherry on top of this tech burn—even artificial intelligence is supposedly dunking on your database choices now!

Look at me, taking a picture of ChatGPT instead of actually writing documentation. It's the modern dev equivalent of taking vacation photos of the information plaque instead of the actual mountain. Why spend hours documenting code when I can just ask an AI to do it later? Ten years of experience has taught me that future me will definitely understand what current me was thinking without proper docs. Totally. The irony of treating documentation like a distant, majestic view while the actual codebase is right there needing attention is just *chef's kiss*. We've evolved from "the code is self-documenting" to "the AI will document it for me."

When AI becomes your most honest code reviewer! GitHub Copilot just casually suggesting a function called getWorstFramework() that returns 'Angular'. The machine uprising isn't with killer robots—it's with sassy code assistants throwing shade at your framework choices. The real comedy here is that Copilot didn't hesitate for a millisecond before choosing violence. No diplomatic "it depends on your use case" nonsense—just straight-up framework assassination. And the 7,323 likes? That's just developers collectively saying "where's the lie though?"

The hot take that's dividing the tech world: AI-generated code has officially normalized "good enough" as the new standard. The argument goes that while pre-AI devs obsessed over clean code, optimal algorithms, and elegant solutions, now everyone's just shipping whatever ChatGPT spits out and calling it a day. The brutal reality check here is that if you're still doing code reviews like it's 2019 while your competitors are deploying features at breakneck speed with AI-assisted "slop," you're basically bringing a fountain pen to a keyboard fight. The market doesn't care if your variable names are perfectly semantic or if you followed SOLID principles—it cares if the feature shipped yesterday. That comment though? "we all died in 2020 and this is hell" has 85.7K likes for a reason. The existential dread of watching software craftsmanship get steamrolled by velocity metrics hits different.

The death spiral of Stack Overflow begins! That sharp nosedive right after ChatGPT's release isn't just a graph—it's the sound of millions of developers closing their "how to center a div" tabs. Why spend 20 minutes getting roasted by forum veterans when AI will give you the answer without judging your life choices? Stack Overflow: where questions were answered with "Did you even try Google?" Now we're all asking ChatGPT, "Can you fix my garbage code?" and it politely says "Certainly!" instead of "Delete your IDE."
