The First LLM Chatbot

Nothing quite like spending four years pulling all-nighters, drowning in student debt, collecting certifications like Pokémon cards, only to watch ChatGPT casually do your job in 3 seconds. The calm acceptance on that face? That's the look of someone who just realized their Computer Science degree is now worth about as much as a Blockbuster membership card. But hey, at least you learned data structures and algorithms, right? Surely AI can't... *checks notes* ...oh. Oh no. The real kicker? Junior devs are out here competing with AI that doesn't need health insurance, never asks for raises, and doesn't spend 2 hours a day in stand-ups discussing blockers. We've officially entered the timeline where "prompt engineer" is unironically a more stable career path than software engineer.

So you used to write beautiful comments explaining every function, every variable, every decision? Yeah, those were simpler times. Then ChatGPT dropped and suddenly your entire codebase became AI-generated spaghetti that you barely understand yourself. Now your "well-commented code" is just cryptic AI outputs with maybe a desperate "TODO: figure out what this does" thrown in. The innocence is gone. The trust is shattered. You're just a prompt engineer now, copy-pasting mysterious code blocks and praying they work. Welcome to the post-2022 developer experience where comments are a luxury from a bygone era and Stack Overflow feels like ancient history.

The modern developer's ark is a bizarre menagerie of code Frankenstein'd together from various sources. Up top, we've got the majestic AI tools (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT) and the trusty GitHub repos we "borrow" from, plus those YouTube tutorials we frantically search at 2PM when nothing works. But when the client shows up? Suddenly we're presenting some unholy chimera of code that barely functions but somehow ships. The client's reaction is universal: "What the hell is this?" while we stand there pretending this abomination was our plan all along. The greatest skill in modern development isn't writing code—it's explaining why your code looks like it was written by five different people with conflicting goals... because it was.

OH. MY. GOD. The sheer AUDACITY of this meme is sending me! 💀 When Google compliments your data? Totally fine! Everyone's just THRILLED about the multi-billion dollar corporation harvesting your search history and personal details. "Nice data, Susan" *chef's kiss* SO APPROPRIATE! But heaven FORBID some random TikTok algorithm does THE EXACT SAME THING and suddenly it's "Hello, government?" and national security threats! The double standard is ASTRONOMICAL! Like, pick a lane, people! Privacy? In this economy? Please! Your data's been sold more times than that sweater you keep returning to H&M!
